Observations on the "Occupy Movement"

Having read the demands and complaints for the Occupy "you name the place" movement, I have a few observations.
1) Most of these folks seem to be unemployed or underemployed individuals and have student loans they can't, but need to pay.
2) Most of the these folks appear to want everything to be given to them, example, they want to start out in the work field of their choice at the top, or at least half way up the ladder.
3) Because they have not sacrificed for much of anything in their lives, they don't want to scrape by and work their way up the ladder success.
4) Most of them would not stand and fight for anything; everything I have read from the posting of the folks appear to be very weak.
5) They all seem to be mad at the corporations for being successful.
6) The government should provide some type of help to me and the rest of our group and take it away from the corporations and people that have worked to earn it, is what they proclaim in a nut shell so to speak.
7) We need food, blankets, and supplies, someone please send these items to us, because we don't work therefore we can't buy the stuff and stealing is to much like work.
8) Most of these folks have a gross misunderstanding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
9) Freedom to Assemble does not mean you can block traffic on the street. The right to petition the government for redress of grievances doesn't apply to corporations and the government has only limited(too much, if you ask me) control of corporations.
10) The government control of corporation should be increase according to these folks or businesses should be controlled somehow. The economic problem we now have are due in part to the government getting into the business of business control.
The Wording from the Declaration of Independence: Life, liberty and pursuit  happiness, was originally life, liberty and the  pursuit of wealth, according to some historians; being as the driving factor behind the Revolution was commerce, that very well may be true.
My answer to the "Occupy" crowd is similar to Herman Cain, GO GET A JOB. If  you can't find one make one, then you won't have time to sit around and eat someone else food that is provided to you at no cost.
