Question of the Day: Occupy Boston

What do you think of the Occupy Boston campaign?

We'll be asking Easton Patch readers a different question every weekday. Questions could range from local decisions made by officials, to state issues, to national politics and entertainment. Whatever it is, we want to know what EASTON thinks!

The protests are a reaction to what protesters are calling inequality in society.
