Pretty much. I mean, I understand that some of the blame falls on corporations for offering under-the-table deals for politicians (future jobs if they vote a certain way, etc.), but it's also the greedy politicians who accept their money/bribes. I'd love to ask these people if they get their coffee at Starbucks or own an iPhone/iPad, in essence supporting what they're protesting.

I also find it sad/amusing that they're ticked when they get arrested. Uh, guys, you're not getting arrested for "assembling," so stop it with the "right to assemble" crap. You're getting arrested for BREAKING THE LAW. Like the Occupy Tucson folks here: they're camping out in a park that closes at 10:30, so what do they expect when they try to stay there all night? In a news article, someone even said the police should stop arresting "kids who can't afford to pay the fines." Seriously?! How about you GO HOME and COME BACK TOMORROW?!
