I don't agree with this. The Federal Reserve in its current state was created by Wall Street, and works to serve Wall Street.
Furthermore, ending Wall Street's grip on our government would actually facilitate MORE capitalism, since Wall Street works to maintain its own anticompetitive, anticonsumer oligopoly.
Many of these protesters probably are far left, and probably do want to "end capitalism" or something equally stupid. However, I think it is wrong to characterize the entire protest this way.
From the folks that characterize all Tea Party protesters as racist. Rich.
Oddly enough nowhere in their statement is anything regarding the US Constitution. Solidarity is a long known codeword for Marxism. Obviously since there is a great chance that Obama will not be re-elected his supporters would rather overthrow the government.
There are a LOT of really pissed off people out there. Maybe this is the start of a debtor's rebellion. The most effective thing to do is pay off and cut up the credit card. Swithch to cash.
yes many jobs have gone oversteas...why...not wallstreet... but the globalist liberal politicians....whos policies have sent jobs overseas
btw...
there are millions of jobs available in the USA...if they are WILLING TO WORK.....its just one tiny catch..you have to actually WORK, not just EXPECT someone else to pay you for sitting on your tuff
You want to see a stolen future? Here's what will happen if these protesters get their way:
Tax the rich and take all the money that is "more than they need". The result will be a situation where nobody will earn more than the minimum. Now those people will have barely enough to live on. So they'll have to turn to the new tax payers, these kids, to pay a LOT more. Can't have granny eating dog food, can we. Even if granny had the means, motivation and desire to make it rich. Instead, she pissed it away on latte's and iPods, and is left with nothing. Because her choice was to spend it, or give it to the government.

What's there to get? Two parties enter into an agreement, where one party loans money to another, with the understanding that the loanee will pay back that loan, with interest.
Now the loanee wants to walk away from the agreement. So now you don't believe in honoring contracts?
Considering more than one of the kids are marching because it's not fair that they have to pay back student loans, and want it forgiven, who exactly is expecting a handout?
Well, the rich bankers expect handouts.
the poor folks expect handouts.
it's not clear to me what the protesters expect. I'm sure some of them expect handouts.
Of course, nobody calls it a "handout". Businesses, for example, usually call their handouts "incentives." Old people don't consider their Medicare a "handout", but it is. Banks call their handouts "liquidity." I suppose there are some who want their handout to be in the form of a dischargable student loan, or free higher education, or something along those lines.
