Occupy Wall Street Signs In Zuccotti Park

It's been a busy week for Occupy Wall Street protestors.

The movement drew reactions from President Obama and those running to replace him, OWS was very questionably linked to George Soros and protesters were told they have to leave Zuccotti Park so it can be cleaned, which some protesters believe is a ploy to kick them out of the park for good.

The cleaning is scheduled for early Friday morning, and if the skeptical protesters are right, the days of sign-toting populists in Zuccotti Park could be numbered. Take a look at some of the best signage from the movement below before it's too late.

My goodness-- these signs actually make sense and are spelled correctly! Unlike these:

The whole idea that OUR kids are wrong for using their freedom of speech should not even be a debate...while the Conservatives want to gut the system thereby gutting our constitutional rights, they are taking aim at the future of this country..Do they honestly believe they can trash OUR kids and hold any sort of real power in that future? That makes no sense..then again neither do the Conservative.

How many of these people would take the jobs that the illegal aliens are doing? If they really want to work, there is work out there, but Americans preferred welfare so the jobs went elsewhere.

Heck, a lot of the jobs that the Chinese are doing, Americans would not accept, even at $9.00/hour. I know this, because my clients have tried to hire Americans, and many high school dropouts turned up there noses at good, honest work.

Let's do a little math here. It might explain a couple of things:

$9 per hour, 40 hours a week. For the sake of argument, let's assume 4 weeks per month.

A little calculator math and you get:

Gross Income: $1440
Net Income (assume 22% taxes, etc): $1123.20
Rent on a barely decent 2BR Apartment: ~ $750
Utilities on said Apartment: ~$250
Food: ~$200 (Yeah I know, low...but work with me here)
One tank of gas a week: ~$160

(Note that this doesn't include car insurance, renters insurance, car payment, anything else)

A little more of that calculator math and you get a bare minimum monthly take home of:

Hmm... -$236.80.

And mind you, I guessed really LOW on a lot of those numbers, and didn't include a variety of necessary expenses...and yet, here we are.

Doug, you've put it in plain English (or numbers as the case may be). While many people are eager to take jobs, working an average of three jobs just to get by is not "The American Dream"!

You can get a roommate and reduce utilities. No one would ever say this is a great salary, but it is a starting point and better than welfare.

Besides, most illegal aliens are making much better than minimum wage, with some making over $50,000/year.

Real Americans. Stepping on the American flag. Pathetic human beings.

You should be ashamed for stepping on the American flag in that photo. Do you have no sense?

Interesting groups - young and old and in-between, well-dressed and poor, men, women, and all races. And they vote - hey, they vote - which means they can select the next congressman or two or even beyond. Wouldn't it be great to kick all the current congresspeople out of the house and senate and start over - beginning with limited terms so nobody can go to Washington to get rich and stay there.

Are we looking at the same pictures? I didn't see a single person there who was "well dressed". I saw very obvious leftists and artsy fartsy types, aging hippies, and crazy people. I didn't see anything that could be said to remotely represent America.

Look the adults who understand the issues are talking. Take your inane comments to redstate or whatever.

Kick out everyone is a good idea , as you state, but you forgot the main person that needs to be kicked out.. that is Obama!! and, the sooner, the better.

...and you propose inserting...WHOM...in his place?!?

Wow, some excellent signs in there. Nice to finally see a movement that's not phony and corporate-sponsored.

It's interesting- unlike Tea Party signs which are riddled with typos and bad grammar, the Occupy signs are grammatically correct and spelled properly.

"Down with Capitalism", at least that's what it says on my 10/14/2011 close $422 a share Apple Inc made iPhone and iPad to write on my sign. I confirmed it on $591 a share Google.

If college tuition was free at least these kids would be getting their monies worth.

[grantpaten]

Yeah, the "down with Zionist Jews" signs in the OWS movement were spelled perfectly.

This is a movement with anti-white, Anti-American, and anti-Semitic overtones.

[ABBNY]

10:19 PM on 10/16/2011

That is interesting! White American kids with anti-white, anti-American overtones? Protesting against themselves?

I have three comments pending approval, that I am sure will never be published. No foul language, no racial comments. Just my opinion! But oh I forgot, this is a Liberal site!

Go to your CONservative site if you want to be heard by other CONS who think like you.

So far, we are still a FREE country. :) Thanks but I will stay here!

Yeah, liberals here don't want to learn facts.

You may get one out of five Conservative comments posted on HuffPo. Good luck and keep trying.

Thanks Stirkle. These liberals, will NOT get me down!

Make you own signs and put them in your lawn to show support. In most states it is election season so you should be able to do it.

[Bette Henry]

08:32 PM on 10/15/2011

No way, thank you. I will fly my American flag, not support what they want. Communism.

Bette when you make a statement like that it only show that you are a low information and very misinformed person. Please turn off Glen and study up some history and economic.

The Republican Politicians do not believe in the inclusiveness of what the American Flag once stood for. What does the American Flag mean to you and why would you fly it?

Go get a job your time will be better used. the 49% of taxpayers would love to see the other 51% contribute, rather then sit home and put signs on their lawn.

I wonder if the 99%ers know that the same bank/investment firm that took their family home is the same that sattled them with worthless college debt...Goldman Sachs no less. Goldman owns a majority holding in 80 universities (see HP press release). They should be occuping the court room with a class action law suit to get their money back from Goldman Sachs. The Goldman Sach people are loooking out their windows down at the protester thinking they don't have a clue. Selling a worthless college degree with predatory leaning is fraud by a company that just can't stop them selves from taking other peoples money.

Check out your congress men and see if he is really voting your best interest.
