Occupy a job

Dear Editor:The activists occupying Wall Street, Los Angeles (name your poison) et al have shown determination, staying power and commitment to their cause. If they would use all those qualities for finding a job, getting an education, starting a business, taking a risk, et al they will become members of the earning society and would not have to demonstrate against income inequality. The rich that these people are against took risks, worked hard, created jobs and continue the great American tradition of surviving by your own bootstraps that has made this country great. Rather than complaining against the rich they should emulate them so that they can also become rich. -- Jorge Montero, Downey
