Granted OWS was 99% retards and 1% knew what they were talking about, I still had to agree with part of their msg against the banks. Sadly not all the unions got in on it especially the PBA since the cops would be affected by banks also. I'm a finance guy, and even I had to agree with some of the things they were fighting for. Heres an article I read recently, which would affect all of us, from our 401k's, pensions and other various funds in which we put aside for ourselves and our children. No wonder Corzine can't explain where the 1.2 Billion went.
