And what exactly is this expected to do? It won't change anything. Protest marches are nearly always a waste of time.

and that is why things are the way they are. People like YOU that think everything is a waste of time.

ppftttt... it's a waste of time showing our ****ed up government that we ARE united AGAINST THEM?? Yeah.. that's so flipping horrible.

It's good. you sit home on your ass in front of your computer and let the big kids fight for you.

Well;march on washington.Wall street is the governamnt. In the end ;it is pretty much a waste as not many pay attention to marches these days. Also many of these march teun violent which turns people off;this isn't the 1960's. I don't want to end the Fed;sounds like some kooky idea of Ron Paul's. Helena?

When I googled "march on Wall Street" I got results from last year too.

Seems things have been sour for a while.

Having marched twice to protest the war in Iraq, I fear I must agree. I'm sure the FBI will send someone after me, but I think those guys should be dragged from their offices and whipped in the street.

I am very surprised that some of them have not been targeted while away from wall street for protests or worse. When things get even more difficult for the average American, will any of the fat cats become a target?
