What does OCCUPY OAKLAND mean? Why was there a Strike and why were people rioting?
I tried to google this and couldnt find an answer. If someone could explain to me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
I appreciate the responses but WHY are they protesting? What is causing these people to become so upset? And how did this all start? Thanks so much for your time.
Answer: The Occupy movement covers a bunch of complaints about how people are just fed up. Fed up with a bank system that nearly destroyed the economy, begged for a trillion dollars in bailouts, refuses to use that money to make loans or help people, and then has the balls to give their top executives millions in bonuses. They're fed up with companies that pay American workers less and less, while shipping more and more jobs overseas, then awarding their executives millions in bonuses. The average CEO makes nearly 800 times the income of the average American, yet the average American pays more in taxes than most CEOs. Only countries with openly corrupt governments like The Congo or Somalia have a larger disparity between the income of its upper and lower income brackets.
And in the middle of all this is a government that has only worked to protect corporations', and not the people. How else do you explain a congress that has told the American public with a straight face that we NEED to reduce taxes on the top 1% income earners AND large corporations because they supposedly create jobs -- and then in the same breath explain that to pay for these tax cuts we have to raise taxes on the working class, as well as cut social security, education, and medical coverage.
As I said, people are just fed up, and the result is the Occupy protests which have spread to many major cities across the country, and overseas.
Yesterday's general strike was an event organized by the Occupy oakland protesters to try and shut down the city in an attempt to show that the people are supportive of the movement. It partially worked... Hundreds of workers did take the day off to show up at the protest to show support and the protesters did manage to shut down Oakland's largest cargo pier for a few hours.
While the vast majority of the protesters were peaceful and well behaved, a few others took the opportunity to try and create chaos and instigate fights with the police. These people were quickly identified as not being part of the larger protests, and were dealt with separately by the cops. Otherwise the cops were content to stand by and allow the protest to run its course.
