Occupy Wall Street exposes underlying US problems – People’s Daily Online
“Occupy Wall Street” is an ongoing series of demonstrations in New York City which has lasted for three weeks since September 17. The headquarters of the protest is based in Zuccotti Park, formerly “Liberty Plaza Park”, and was originally called for by the Canadian activist group Adbusters.
The participants of the event are mainly protesting against social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of corporate money and lobbyists on government, among other concerns, in the Untied States. The organizers hope that the protesters themselves will seek their own specific demands, which should focus on “taking to task the people who were responsible for causing the great economic meltdown two years ago.”
