Earning their keep is exactly what most of the protesters want to do.
Most are unemployed or under-employed through no fault of their own.
They want jobs that pay a living wage and the restoration of what this
country once stood for and made possible for almost all of our immigrant
ancestors: a fair opportunity to make the most of their abilities and
ambitions.
Many are college grads with tens of thousands of dollars of education
debts and no job prospects to live a dignified life - much less pay back
those loans. They are not looking for a handout, just a social system
that is not strongly rigged against the majority of the citizenry. Stop
listening to the ignorant conservative wing-nuts and learn the facts.
