Right, and people visit the soup kitchens because they like the soup.

The Occupy-whatever crowd were comprised by a majority of students, who were looking to party. I highly doubt they were protesting solely on their ideals of "big business=bad". How many of those "occupy" protestors that were students were paying their own tuition, as compared to those that were having mom and pop foot the bill?

Constraining their opportunity?
The only thing truly constraining THEIR opportunity is the fact that they want it all and they don't want to work HARD for it.
My boss told me (a few years back) that he couldn't believe the audacity of job applicants just coming out of college. he said that they all felt ENTITLED to a higher salary that the job entailed. Now we're talking a college grad with ZERO work experience expecting to step into a management level position and salary. When told what the job they were applying for entailed with comensurate salary they acted like we were insulting them.
