A coffee cart and a hotdog cart owners in Southern California have lost their business. The occupiers have been very effective. I am sure these cart owners are a part of the 1%. It seems after the cart owners could not afford to give free food anymore, protesters destroyed their carts.
“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio

It's time Obama s topped the class warfare. I believe he has caused this and he owns it. These street venders have a right to their business and probably have paid a lot of money in fees in order to be able to have their street businesses. It's time they were charged and made to pay for their destruction of all businesses and city property every where. At this point in time they don't seem to stand for any thing but stupidity.
They have assaulted a 78 year old retired school teacher who was attending dinner hosted by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation. They are even using toddlers to block doors at political events. They want their right's but not any one else tgo have theirs if they disagree.

Well, lets see, they work loads and tones of hours, own their own business, most likely do not recieve extra government "benefits", probably are not collecting unemployment and chances are, do not live at mom and dad's house. yep sounds like 1%ers to me!

The only thing worse than these disgusting pigs is the fact that left wing politicians, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT continue to support them and refuse to denounce them. A few mayors who are democrats have finally realized that these people are a serious problem, but some, like the corrupt mayor of Oakland, will still side with the protesters over the law abiding citizens they are attacking.

I don't know how the Occupiers ever came up with "we represent 99% of the people". Seems to me they represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of people that believe the rest of us (those paying taxes) owe them a living (food, housing, clothing, etc.) I have yet to hear one Occupier in any city make a good argument for what they stand for/what they want...besides "down with America". And I say to that, "let me help you crawl through the fence to Mexico..." Because I'll be d**n if I'm going to pay for them to leave. It's time to put an end to this b.s. I'd love to throw them all in jail, but then we'd have to feed and clothe them...isn't that what they want? For the rest of us to take care of them?
And no, I'm not happy with Wall Street or Congress (past and present) or President (current and past)...but this is NOT the way to fix it.
