I'm still trying to figure out what is exactly being protested on Wall Street, but it is interesting to see that it has spread to other cities.

Could you see it happening in Dallas? Where do you think they would protest? I cannot think of any meaningful area except downtown.

They are pissed about EVERYTHING - the economy, job market, hating "the rich" and wanting them to pay "their fair share", the wars we're still fighting, etc.

Instead, they should be marching on Washington if they want:
*Obama to end the wars
*Bernake to change our monetary policy
*Obama to toss his 900+ "executive orders" (environmental & other fiscal/monetary regulations) that scare the sh$t out of small & large businesses as far as near-term economic stability
*Congress to repeal the Healthcare bill which has stalled hiring and RAISED healthcare costs by an estimated 7% for each American

We have a branch of the Federal Reserve on Pearl in Uptown. (Right by Zaza/ Sammy's BBQ). So that would be a natural place to protest.

THAT spot is Very Well Defended. If you follow what I mean.

Not like anyone is watching, or tracks these type discussions, but you might not want to be too deeply associated with suggesting or spec-ing such a target.

Just saying.

Paranoid much, Phil T?

The Fed is Dallas most obvious financial presence. It's not a radical suggestion, nor is it a "secret" location.

And as it turns out, they'll be there protesting tomorrow morning. (see linked article above).
