34. There are people with jobs who support OWS because they against the injustice.
Edited on Mon Oct-10-11 02:04 PM by mod mom
You should not judge a person by whether or not they are still employed but by their actions. My husband still has a means of support for our family, but that may change. We support OWS because we support social justice, full employment, are against income inequity, the corrupt banksters & politicians, the amount of power those in the 1% hold.

We should stick together to fight this cause.
