Ken, if you honestly believe that the banks and Wall Street had no part in this mess, you have been sold a bill of goods (or a bag of bad mortgages).

Ken, if you got what happened in the mortgage industry any more wrong it would be laughable.

But I maintain that I could have it wrong, thus saving you the need to counter-attack.

Frances Piven is an 80 year old woman. I don't remember her name ever coming up before. Seems to me to be a "red herring".

I remember my days on campus during the Polish workers strike, when Americans stood by these workers as they threw off their oppressors. I contributed to their cause in the quad,at a table where they sold pins that simply said, Solidarnosc!! Solidarity.

As David said these people aren't idiots, they are just people who are fed up. They aren't being led by anyone. There have been several tea partiers down there supporting them also.

It is easy to pigeonhole them as whatever, communists, subversives,anarchists. Seems to me that is the same stuff spewed out about tea party.

Totally disagree, which is cool, but I totally disagree. What are they saying that the Tea Party hasn't said already??? Corporate accountability, governmental accountability. Same thing that has been stated her a thousand times and a thousand ways. We have to more than partisans. This group looks like they have as much distrust of government as anyone here does. They aren't for more government, they expect better government, we are quibbling here. Join forces with them, let politicians on both sides of the aisle know that we are no longer going to take it. These are brothers in arms.

maybe they are protesting (inartfully) the idea of socialist capitalism.  the taxpayers take the loss but wall street gets to make the profit.  let's not forget:  this is a banking system that collapses the economy due to their reckless (and possibly illegal) gambling, gets bailed out by U.S. taxpayers to the tune of billions, then pays itself outrageous bonuses while the rest of the country suffers, and then continues much of the same risky activity without facing any accountability...that's what i would be protesting.

worst president in history Woodrow Wilson wandering in the presidential desert while the federal reserve was created and  the income tax was put into effect thus stateism gets a solid foothold and kicks lady liberty right in the teeth.

let me get this straight free market capitalism creates a place where they can come out against free market capitalism. Oh dear my idiot detector is red lining.

If you've watched any of the interviews with these "activist" most don't seem to know what they're doing there.  They just came down to join up with everyone else.  Smoke a little, drink a little and party a lot.  My questions is "where  are they going to the bathroom".   Gross!!!
