The OWS protesters have tried to create an economic system amongst their movement that they believe is more just and responsible than the one that is already set in place; however, less than a month in, many issues have begun to arise.
In one example, the kitchen staff at the OWS protest has begun protesting because they Ironically feel that they are unappreciated and overworked. The kitchen staff argued that some people are TAKING ADVANTAGE of the system and FREELOADING off the work of others. Personally I couldn't agree with them any more. I also have a hatred for people that take advantage of the system and expect others to take care of them...
Another example of the erosion of their ideals is the greed and robbery that is occurring amongst the protesters. Food, money, and electronics have been stolen by thieves who prey on the protesters innocence and trust. Apparently, many protesters do not like having their possessions taken away from them by freeloaders that are trying to take advantage of the system...

and Finally, this organization is having issues with Money...they have too much of it. the OWS foundation has deposited over $500 000 and are now having issues with how it will be spent. organizers and volunteers have been lining up to gain access to these funds in order to continue the movement; however, many have been rejected and this has caused a rift amongst the groups. It is sad that they can not create a just system that will redistribute the wealth amongst all their members...
