What good is occupying DC going to do? Very simple-minded logic that many others have already stated.
What you are missing is that perhaps WALL ST. will "give up the goods" so to speak and let the outsiders IN to what is going on. That is what the MAINSTREAM needs to hear and finally accept, to sway the unthinking, dumbed down voters.
You and I will never get the honesty from the politicians, the most crooked evil there could be...
Just imo and no one else to my knowledge has stated any of the above.
Sleeve,
In your opinion I am missing something about "Wall ST" todays big bogey man.
I am sure you will come back with an "ENRON" story.
Fact is just as the majority of UPS employees are very hard working extremely decent people there are always a few bad apples.
Same with the major U.S corporations that have provided a vast amount of jobs,benefits,opportunites for generations of Americans.
What or who is Wall street ? UPS --Johnson & Johnson --Microsoft --all the Fortune 500 companies---the Russel 2000 -etc,etc etc.
Let the outsiders in ?? Lets use UPS as an example. Somewhere today a poor person will apply to UPS for a very grueling part time job. As the many years go by this person has loaded, unloaded ,sorted , delivered air,washed cars combo jobbed,
drove as a full time package driver and then a feeder driver.
This person has alot more ambition and drive that most. On weekends and whatever free time possible he completes a college degree and enters management. "Friends" no longer speak to him and he spends long and hard days and nights climbing the "Corporate ladder".
After 35 to 40 years he is in the top 1% of UPS management. He has always been honest and lived his business life with a high degree of ethical standards.
He is retired now -a multi millionaire who has always paid the highest tax rates and has contibuted to numerous charities.
Now the young Occupy wall street punk claims how evil the system is --how no-one can get ahead-the system is rigged.
When the young man is offered a part time job at UPS ---He looks at you like you are crazy ---I am not going to do that.
Today ---he is the HERO
The long time hard worker who has worked to create a succesful life for him and his family is now the "evil Wallstreeter"
You must be right I am missing something !!
