Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street is a protest by a group of people are trying to change a new tax that is trying to be passed that says the wealthy would gain more money than the poor. The goal of the this protest by these people is to make sure that this bill doesn't get passed. In my opinion, I think that it does go under the category of Civil Disobedience because they are going against something the government is trying to pass. The difference between the protest now and when Martin Luther King Jr. was alive was mainly the fact that laws of the United States were much different. King tried to change laws that he thought were unconstitutional and bias towards African Americans. I think that this bill shouldn't be passed because it is going to make it harder for people to pay for things that they can hardly afford now.
