There are 2.5 million people in Toronto, and 5.5 million people in GTA.  There are approximately 200 protestors now and 2000 protestors yesterday.  Who give those less than 0.01% or 0.1% the right to represent 99%.  I earn less than $180,000 per year so I belong to 99%. However, I didn't give them delegation, None of my friends and colleges, who also belong to 99% gave out their delegation.  So how could those people represent 99%.

If a country has 9-10% unemployed rate, you can somehow complain government for your unemployee.  If a country has 6-7% unemployed rate (which is quite normal based on the economical theory), you should look for the reason on yourself.

If a country has 6-7% unemployment rate is, as you said,  "quite normal based on the economical theory", how about the following facts:

(1)  30 years ago, the median income in Canada is around $53,000. After 30 years, with exponential economic growth, explosive emerge of the wealth of billionaires and the inflation of 30 years, however, the median income still remain under $60,000. That means the income for average working people is getting less now than 30 years ago while the 1% are becoming fabulously ultra rich.

(2)  the youth unemployment rate is close to 20% although we have so many young, smart, physically and mentally strong, highly educated young people.

(3)  the occupy movement is rapidly being resonated on a global scale. Isn't it a clear signal indicating there is something fundamentally wrong with whole globalized economic system?!   

The economic theory you talked about is the very theory that has been spewed out by the corporate media and in business schools. It serves the rich and brain-washes the rest of us and hurts the vast majority of the population.  It's time we ditch this kind of economic theory.
