- 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.
- 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).
- Corporate greed and the increased pay of Wall Street workers compared to the drastic fall in wages for the 'common worker' is completely unjust.
- 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.
