I just learned about Occupy Wall Street Movement from the US and Chinese media. The demonstration started on Sep. 17 and has attracted a lot of protesters. I was told that some protesters had been arrested because of the demonstration. I am a Chinese. Honestly, I don’t know why the protest occurred.

"Occupy Wall Street is leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We are the 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants”, according to the occupywallst.org,

Is it the real cause of the protest? I just want to hear what the Americans think about Occupy Wall Street Movement. Do you think the movement will be successful and finally fulfill its ends?

I dont know if it will be successful but one thing is for sure there has been a birth of a movement. Lies greed and corruption are at the top of the agenda. People are beginning to stand up and not take it anymore,, and its spreading around the world,, not just here in the US. This is not just an American crisis,, this is world wide, and it started in Europe first!

They just figured out how to suppress them. The movement is doomed to fail. I just want to know who just protest on the streets. They claim that they are 99 percent but why more and more people stand out to support them?
