Wall Street Protests

For me, the point of the protests are this:

Things are NOT right with this country.

We are a mess and a lot of the blame lies at the top...including the banks and wall street institutions that played investment games that eventually cost millions their homes and jobs.

Our government is bought and paid for.

Human rights are being eroded and eliminated on a daily basis.

Our planet is being destroyed.

Our economy is in dire straights and getting worse (yes, it's getting worse!).

We are squandering billions (not to mention lives) on wars no one wants or needs.

The middle class is disappearing into poverty.

Education is being ruined and dismantled.

Someone has to do SOMETHING!! At least those people care enough to speak up.
