Occupy Wall Street's opposite expression of the disparity between rich and poor may have begun in good faith using free speech and amendment rights of the General Assembly, but the strategies that some protesters have demonstrated are causing adverse reactions against themselves. The Occupy Wall Street movement will surely cost the affected cities double-digit millions of dollars. Increases in payroll, overtime, and business expenses will inadvertently backfire and increase layoffs. The burden that protesters physically impose on a city is adding to an already financially difficult situation. The mass of people and their tented lifestyle is causing a drain on city finances and, alas, money is flowing out of earmarks for those divisions of the city workforce that people pay for with their taxes. Of course, the conglomerate of protesters is a spectacle of an unguided cast of actors playing a chaotic performance before a society of different opinions, beliefs and values. In 2009, based on adjusted gross income, the income of the elite 1% was 348,000. One wonders how many protesters have a family member in the elite 1%. Some of the self-destructive actions that protesters have taken have been taunts to the police in invasions of spatial boundaries resulting in forced removal and use of pepper for self-protection by the police. spraying. During a sit-in protest at a college, which appeared to be a group of peaceful students, a police officer sprayed the seated students with wildfire. They had been repeatedly warned to leave by order of the college rector. This is an act of unnecessary aggression and perhaps the simplest thing would have been to call the center of the card as a whole. The protesters return home and vote for change.
