OCCUPY WALL STREET

As you said, this thread is 45 pages long with lots of quotes, articles and vague ideas, but I haven't seen any list and how disrupting others' use of public property helps the cause.

If my memory serves me, the chief complaint at the start of the movement was that not one CEO, CFO or multi-millionaire at the top of Wall Street firms and the US banking system has been charged and prosecuted for wrong doing since the major collapses in 2008. This is something that has bothered me since that time along with those that "packaged" bogus securities which were sold internationally at the tune of mega-millions and even billions.

This and the fact that the regulations put in place to ward off future corruption like this really have no bite. And some of these very same practices are continuing right now!

Unless these "big wigs" are held criminally accountable- it will not stop. This would be at the top of my list of 5!
