Working their jobs, taking care of their families, etc. Some may be too busy while others might be unaware of the protests. Others may disagree with the protests. Just because they are advocating the 99% against the Wall Street top 1% doesn't mean they actually speak for everyone in that 99%.

1% of the population has stolen all the wealth
which leaves the other 99% totally screwed.
yes, I understand that.
where is the rest of the 99%?
It is a joke. Most do not even know what they are protesting. Wall Street as a whole is very liberal, look at how much money was donated by them to Obama.

Same place you are; sitting at home or at their cubicle, talking about it. We live in a nation where people are pacified by cheeseburgers, porn, and sports. If only Wall Street robbed us of those things instead of our livelihoods, the streets would packed.
Don't blame the people who are there for there not being that many people there. Blame the people who aren't there.

A movement is not instantaneous. It is not the simple act of turning on a light switch. Movements are acts of momentum, the same ways ripples turn into waves.edit on 10/4/11 by Resonant because: (no reason given)

It doesn't take the whole country. It only takes a fraction to reach a tipping point.
During the American Revolution it didn't take the whole damn country to win the
war (if you really want to call it a win). It was the few who refused to bow down
to the British that allowed them to reach that tipping point.

If you oppose the protests, does that mean that you support the Federal Reserve and banks printing money out of thin air while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Do you support politicians being bought out and influenced by Wall Street? I sure as hell don't, neither do the protesters. This is no "joke".edit on 4-10-2011 by TupacShakur because: To edit my post
