These people are protesting the growing social and economic inequality. They are protesting corporate greed, corruption and the influence these things have over our government.

This^^^^^^
everytime i see someone counteract protests with the arugement of "lazy, wanting handouts etc etc etc"
I just laugh because of their complete ignorance.
if you are against this shit, that's cool. At least have a relevant arguement, this counter argument is like
"I don't really like oranges"
"THATS BULLSHIT STRAWBERRYS ARE DELICIOUS!!!"
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then.”
-Thomas Jefferson
To put it bluntly, saying suck it up and deal with it is unpatriotic. This country was based on the fact that we should always be questioning the governments motives.
I love this country, I am a patriot.
