Protesters calling themselves 'the 99 per cent' continued to gather momentum in several cities across the country today, with groups descending on on Washington D.C., Jersey and Texas. The marchers - campaigning against America's richest 'one per cent' with perceived tax breaks and other perks - have swelled their ranks since mid September, leading President Barack Obama to call the demonstrators a 'movement'.

The rich are different - and not in a good way, studies suggest - MSNBC News – Health Article
Psychologist and social scientist Dacher Keltner says the rich really are different, and not in a good way: Their life experience makes them less empathetic, less altruistic, and generally more selfish. In fact, he says, the philosophical battle over economics, taxes, debt ceilings and defaults that are now roiling the stock market is partly rooted in an upper class "ideology of self-interest." "We have now done 12 separate studies measuring empathy in every way imaginable, social behavior in every way, and some work on compassion and it's the same story," he said.9/26 - Day 10

Video posted by the group Occupy Wall St from the eighth day of protests against corporations show police using Tasers and mace to control the crowd, which the group says has only made it more committed to keep up the demonstrations in lower Manhattan for the long haul.
Police says most of those arrested were blocking traffic, though one person has been arrested for assaulting an officer. The protest movement named “Occupy Wall Street” began a week ago near the New York stock exchange in lower Manhattan. Hundreds have been camping out around the clock in nearby parks.

Hundreds of people carrying banners and chanting "shame, shame" walked between Zuccotti Park, near Wall St. and Union Square calling for changes to a financial system they say unjustly benefits the rich and harms the poor. At least 80 people were carted away in police vehicles and up to five were hit with pepper spray near 12th St. and Fifth Ave., where tensions became especially high, police and organizers said. A video posted on YouTube and NYDailyNews.com shows uniformed officers had corralled the women using orange nets when two supervisors made a beeline for the women and at least one suddenly sprayed the women before turning and quickly walking away.9/23 - Day 7
