re: #318 wrenchwench

Many of them saw their planned retirement income wiped out in the financial crisis and/or the housing crash and couldn’t retire, or had to (try to) unretire. Try finding a job when you’re over 60. Even less fun than you’re having now.

Which is why a lot of them are now out in the streets, either with the Tea Party or the OWS movement.

Sure, it makes for provocative headlines to show some anarchist douchebag taking a shit on a cop car, but all that does is ignore the larger issues at play here. There are entirely valid reasons for the OWS movement right now.
