But it's not doing anything. The BEST this can HOPE to do, is to inspire some POLITICAL CANDIDATES to "promise" to represent the people over big business IF he/she gets elected. If people feel they are no longer being represented by the folks we have empowered to do just that, THOSE are the ones to go after. But no one wants to do THAT, because THAT means taking responsibility for our poor choices. Owning up to the fact that WE inflicted these people onto ourselves. Doing that means admitting that, by far and large, most americans know next to nothing, really, about their chosen race horses they bet on from year to year. Most folks vote on TV ads, and wall street demonstrations is NOT going to make a difference there, I promise. Most folks couldn't tell you how their own senators voted on key issues if their LIVES depended on it, even though to properly educate yourself on what kind of votes they make is a task of, what, 20 minutes, tops? Before the internet, we all had an excuse. No more. But yet there they are, flying the flags of their anger into the wrong faces, giving voice to their grievances to the wrong ears, ears of people who wouldn't make any changes even IF they had the power to do so, because they have NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY.
Picketing wall street has not, in any way, harmed wall street. Last I checked, the DOW is up. My 401K is gaining. If ANYTHING, they are using products made and sold to them BY those large corporations, namely, one of the most evil I can think of, Nestle Foods. Those sammies those folks are eating, those pizzas, they are all made with ingredients likely supplied by Nestle and their many subsidiaries, as is the bottled water they are probably guzzling by the gallon. Way to hit "the man" where it hurts, lol.
