Corporate greed? Have young people run out of things to protest? I suspect most of them could care less and are just there because it's the "in" thing. Funny thing they are probably mostly college students whose mommies and daddies are sending them through school because of big greedy jobs.

IPFW students protest by skipping class

Fort Wayne, Ind. (WANE) - About a dozen students at IPFW refused to go to their classes Wednesday afternoon.

They were protesting about student debt and the rising cost of higher education.

It’s all part of something called “National Walk Out Day.”

Students at nearly 100 campuses across the country were expected to participate and organizers recruited people on Facebook and Twitter.

The IPFW students said they're showing solidarity with the "Occupy Wall Street" movement that's happening in New York City.

'about a dozen', lol...real solidarity now, isn't it?

The students at IPFW said they're concerned about the economy, jobs, and student loan debt.
Gee, sounds like the same things I was concerned about over 20 years ago, except I didn't look for others to blame.

Bet you if those greedy corporate companies offered them a job they would take it. Of course with all the background checks, social checks now wonder how many lost any opportunity of ever holding one of those greedy corporate jobs.

True Pez, but as we saw in England recently, stupid shit can turn bad quickly.

I don't think it's capitalism per se that they are protesting against. Rather its more that the actions of a very heavily resourced few nearly wrecked the worldwide financial system and no one went to jail. Meanwhile a global recession leads to high unemployment, reducing their prospects.

To answer your question, I wonder that also. The answer could just as likely be none. Moses sucked at the teat of unearned privilege before he saw the light, yea?

This is just my sick sense of humor, but I think it would be fun to organize a rally in favor of corporate greed. "Yeah, go corporations!" Very Happy

Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York -- operating as New York Communities for Change -- have fired staff, shredded reams of documents and told workers to blame disgruntled ex-employees for leaking information in an effort to explain away a FoxNews.com report last week on the group’s involvement in Occupy Wall Street protests, according to sources.
You know, I was thinking this was just way too organized to have started with a few kids.
