What a bunch of idiots. The police should have just sprayed the vermin with rubber bullets until they left.

You would think the police have better things to do.

Now the fire department, they can always use a little practice time.

Have you seen the inane remarks by some of these kids when interviewed? They do not have a coherent purpose for their protests other than some vague meanderings denigrating corporate America. Also, notice the branded corporate merchandise they wear and their use of corporate made technology like cell phones, laptops, and Ipads. It must be nice to have government or parents pick up the tab for protesting. Then, of course, you have the professional protesting contingent. They're the older folks that look like they dropped out of 1960s Berkeley.

The Left. This is what they do, all they do, and they really believe that they are doing something. Despicable.

There's a difference between the products you identified and the activity happening on wall street. The products identified were the results of companies actually producing something. Wall street is overpopulated with leeches who take a cut from those who are actually adding value to the economy.

You do not see money as a product? There is a price for money and there always has been. Whether or not the cost is currently too high or that some have gamed the system is a different question. What alternative corporate finance model do you prefer?

This is from the OccupyWallStreet web site:

As members of the 99 percent, we occupy Wall Street as a symbolic gesture of our discontent with the current economic and political climate and as an example of a better world to come.

So I assume that they are targeting the top 1%, but are myopic to all the positives that come from Wall Street and the diversity of those invested in Wall Street. One can no longer make the sophomoric assumption that Wall Street is only the playground of proverbial fat cats. Those products and all their precursors were likely financed by Wall Street somewhere along their manufacturing trajectory. Does the system always work perfectly? No. But aside from outright government financing, which has recently failed even in the narrow arena of green energy, there is no viable alternative to Wall Street.
