"The government sucks. The system sucks. Wall Street sucks. I'm here for the American people. I'm tired of people losing their jobs, their homes, everything they own. The American dream is completely gone. The economy is really bad and rather than the government putting a stop to it they're bailing out the people that caused the problem and for me it's an insult not only to individuals but to America and to people all around the world who already had no respect for us. It's just so wrong what they are doing.

They created so much debt for little kids, for kids who aren't even born yet. They're going to pass all that debt to those innocent kids, that's not fair to them, they're going to grow up with an economy that's messed up, with education costs so high, with everything so high and they have their own generation's problems to worry about on top of that debt. That is not fair.

I am here for the little ones, the ones that cannot be here, the ones that cannot talk for themselves. I'm here for the people that lost everything because of those greedy bastards. They took away our dignity, our constitutional rights, our rights as individuals, and our rights as people. They robbed us of everything that we had. Why? Because they wanted to be greedy. People are supposed to be born into a country where they have equal opportunity and that's why I'm here. I'm tired of seeing the food chain unbalanced because when you have an unbalanced food chain eventually it will collapse and that's what you're seeing right now it is collapsing. We brought the power to them, brought the money to them with our own sweat and worked hard for them to be where they're at and we have power to pull them down. They don't want to listen to us? We're protesting nicely. If that doesn't work, we'll try another method. We're not going to give up because we are indeed the 99% and that's why I'm here."
