Response to Matt Taibbi's article
When i read Taibbi's article on the Occupy Wall street protests I found many points that he brought up to be true. The first one that I agree with him on is where he goes and talks about how the whole Occupy movement isn't directed mainly at the big banks and things, it is just a protest simply on everything. People are beginning to realize that they are fed up and that they should take action in order to fix the problems that they have with today's society. The article goes on to explaining what everyone who isn't involved in the movement doesn't know. He shows the background information behind things that gets us familiar with the problem. He then goes into saying that there possibly is a deeper reason other then just the banks that people are protesting about. They might also just all be protesting about everything that they are upset about. Matt goes into saying that the media portrays the people within the occupy protest to be an almost hippie-like urban sleepover. Where in reality the occupy movements mean so much more then that. The people in the movements are fighting for their rights, and things that they deserve. The media twists how the citizens of America view different things. It is about time that someone steps up to our government that is trying to control us with the corporate america.
