Conservative groups
responding to Occupy Wall Street argue that hard work, not protests,
will bring people out of poverty. Is that true?
As the Occupy Wall Street movement has grown, more and more
Americans are stepping up to share their stories and air their
grievances.
But not everyone is angry at Wall Street. Conservative
reaction to the movement has resulted in counter-protests and new memes,
like conservative columnist Erick Erickson's new site, We Are The 53%.
The site is a reaction to We Are The 99 Percent,
a website that allows citizens to upload photos of themselves holding a
sign with their story - such as too much student debt, trouble getting a
job, or no health insurance.
Contributors claim they stand in opposition to the 1% of
Americans who control the majority of the country's wealth, as well as
the big business and government systems they say allowed the economy to
flounder.
