The Occupy Wall Street protests have generated plenty of commentary as to what their demands should be. The media elite, and yes, even the liberal elite, have denounced the protests as a bunch of hippies or listless spoiled college students looking for something to do.
The truth is the American people have been lied to for so long. They were told if they worked hard and followed the law they would be able to make it in America. They'd be able to get that house with a white picket fence. They'd be able to raise a family and spend time with that family.
Simply put, we lack security. We lack economic security.
