The biggest issue according to me is the unequal distribution of wealth. That according to me is the most important factors that lead to this protest. If the wealth was distributed evenly between the rich and the poor then this type of a problem would not have taken place in the first place. 65% of the nation's wealth is given to the top 1% of the people and the rest distributed to the 99%. Hence we get the 99% and 1% slogan for the Occupy protests. This unjust and unequal treatment of government has gotten to the nerves of the people which is but obvious and expected. One cannot keep pushing another around for much long without expecting a reaction. Every action has an equal an opposite reaction, hence proven.
I honestly don't think that celebrities participation in this protest doesnt do much because the celebrities basically are looking for exposure for their own interest and publicity. If this would not have been on the news this much, no celebrity would have even cared enough to pay attention to it or even get involved.

I believe the biggest issue here, like others have said, is the issue of unequal distribution of wealth. We all know that the ones benefiting is a mere 1% verse the 99% that is suffering. The gap between the richest and the poorest is growing more and more. The middle working class is shrinking and those that do remain in the middle class are being forced to pay more taxes. The rich is only becoming more rich, the poor are becoming more poor, and the middle class are on this wheel and forced to work harder and harder each day just to keep going in the same place.
ReplyDeleteI personally have mixed feelings when talking about the celebrities attending these events. Some may believe the celebrities that do attend are doing it for personal benefit and could care less for the cause. This may be the case in most cases, but in the end the celebrity appearance will still help with the cause despite what the celebrities true intentions are. I believe the celebrities willing to attend these events and show support will only benefit in creating a bigger affect of the movement.
