Week 4: "Occupy Wall Street protesters are American patriots" - CNN


  1. Some people do not understand that the USA was formed by dissenters, and that the Occupy Wall Street protests are an example of this dissent.
  2. The Occupy Wall Street protesters have a right to protest, as mentioned in the Bill of Rights (the freedom to assemble and the freedom of speech).
  3. Corporate greed and  the increased pay of Wall Street workers compared to the drastic fall in wages for the 'common worker' is completely unjust. 
  4. The Occupy Wall Street protests are trying to make the financial industry's main goal helping the USA on a long-term basis instead of only caring for themselves, not attacking capitalism.
