Let's assume for the sake of argument that everyone involved in OWS didn't have a job- wouldn't that be even MORE telling that there is a serious problem in this country?

1. "Get a job" = "Let them eat cake"
Or more precisely, "I got mine--and yours, just let them eat shit and die"! It's a vicious, savage taunt rich sociopaths use to knock us down and kick us when we ARE down.

2. another thing is, most jobs these days pay
much less than I can ever remember - Getting a $10 an hour job is considered lucky.

Not to mention, no sick leave, no or dreadfully inadequate health insurance and just under full time hours.

The great divide between those jobs that pay 50, 60 and up to 120,000 a year and those that pay between 20,000 to, say, 25,000 is huge, and seems to be getting larger and larger.
