The modern day carnival freak show.

As a film, the 99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film offers a somewhat unique view of the side of America that is destined to be completely irrelevant..and it should be. Viewers get to see the youth of today attempt to describe the 'social injustice' of capitalism in a system they have made no attempt to assimilate to or the American culture as we know it. What you see is people who have made many bad choices in their lives, whether is its loans they couldn't afford, marginal college students with unmarketable major and the fringe elements radicals who feed on the weak of mind and backbone. Somehow they feel that America has let them down because someone has what they do not. There is actually an example of an adjunct professor who makes $800 a month teaching two classes. Clearly that is a part time job yet there is no mention of how she is otherwise employed, and yet she feels she is a victim of the system. Another spokesman actually said, I don't want to work hard all my life. Such is the pathetic work ethic of this group. The real title of this movie should be The Other 1%, because 99% of American's would never show their face at such silliness. As the well dressed men on the sidewalk said the reason they aren't going to the protest was because they had money to make.
