yes sir Ducimus. That is my fear. We want a better country and world for all, ruled by fairness in law for everyone. If a business messes up and fails, then it dies. That is how capitalism is supposed to work. not to be bailed out, then raise fees on debit cards like Bank of America did. And not loan after being given close to zero percent interest by the federal reserve. They took that money to play the stock market with, rather than lend to small business. (small business is where a massive majority of employment comes from)
The privatize the profits, and socialize the losses thing is why they are out there. It's not fair for the struggling to pay for the excesses of the sloppy bankers.
You all in Europe are paying for Wall Streets profligacy too, this garbage with the Euro and Greece is an indirect result of people playing war games with money.
It's not just America who has to gain from this protest. And it is in more cities than just New York at this point.
