OWS: The Income Inequality and the 99%


It has been two months that protesters occupy the New York business center near Wall Street. The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement has already been bragging the world’s attention to the economical turmoil, resulted from the transaction underneath the Wall Street stock market and also the lobbying with the government by the wealth in manipulating the policy. The motley mobs of OWS seem not uncontrolled regarding their goal. However, the protesters have stolen the world’s attention to their main goal about the income inequality and the 99% concept. With their two month action, is this still effective in sending the message to the world?

The problem of the income inequality becomes the imminent problem in the United States, and mostly in many developed countries. While the hard crisis and recession hit this country, billions of dollars are bailed out to the banks in which the wealth is there. On the other hand, the poor who claim as the 99% people were not bailed out; even, they are fired by the company due to the recession. There is not any special attention to the 99% people while the government prefers to back up the major sectors belong to the banks. The bankers seem innocent with their hard work. Despite the Wall Street and other banks are working hard in economical sectors, but as long the crisis are imminent and the more poor for the many, the bankers failed to do their job.

The OWS keep yelling their aspiration toward the income inequality and the 99% concept. The bankers have too much salary and they are also bailed out by the government at the same time. On the other hand, this is the challenge for the protesters to measure the effectiveness of the OWS movements from the Wall Street to occupying voting booth during the election.

The potential of Occupy Wall Street


It has been taking over two months after the Occupy Wall Street movement occurs in New York City. There are more and more supports and debates over the Occupy movements happening in most of major cities in the United States and other countries. Apart from the contempt response from the white collars and also the Republican Tea Party, the movements have caught the media attention over the world that there are symptoms in the current economical system. Amidst the “unclear” direction of the Occupy movements, we can actually find the potential of the Occupy Wall Street. Here are some reviews that you can see from the movements.

While some parties claim that the movement in New York City just creates more arrests and also criminals within the jobless people, they say that this is big no. The arrests and also the criminals are just scenario to spawn the troubles within the Occupy movements. So, ideally people will be led to the moral stigma that the movements are about criminals. Despite the ignorance from the authority, especially the White House who gives lame response, the groups of the people who support the Occupy movements are getting more and more. They are okay naming themselves as the “Little Guy”, as 99% group, who will fight the “Big Guy” which is the 1% powerful and wealth community. Analyzing the proliferation of the movements, even more academics are joining the movement as to say the protest to the income inequality and also the corporate greed.

Behind the “jobless” people, there are more experts, academics, and many other activists as the timing bombing to fight the big Goliath. The potential behind the Occupy Wall Street will prove the mistakes that New York City has spent too much money of the taxpayers for their corporate, and they keep going on, while the innocence people are just simply arrested without any clear solution.
