This kicks serious ass.

From the page: "...the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in total financial assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the United States and throughout the world," said Sanders. "This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else."

Did they have to prove they needed it? Did they make under a certain amount of money in order to qualify? Bring their birth certificates in? Provide regular updates when their income changed?

The hypocrisy and greed is so disgusting it boggles my mind.

So many honest, hard-working people in the US who wait till they've exhausted all other means of support before they request social services, and they end up getting turned away because they make too much money on their $8/hr job.

From the page: The Journal, Paulson, and others who accuse the protestors of being "unsophisticated," somehow have forgotten a basic point. It's not just Paulson, or Goldman, or JP Morgan that parlayed their unethical behavior into vast fortunes at the expense of hapless investors. Just name a big name on Wall Street in the past decade, scratch the surface, and uncover a financial scandal. Bank of America, Goldman, JP Morgan, AIG, Merrill Lynch, Countrywide Financial, Lehman Brothers are only the start of the list.

Hear from the people and decide for yourself what the movement is about.

wow. Reza brought it.

From the page (2008):
"The New York Police Department, as part of a court settlement, has agreed to formalize several changes it has made in its crowd control procedures at political demonstrations. The department said it would ensure that protesters will not be trapped inside pens surrounded by police barricades, that people will be given ââ,¬oeavenues of escape when police approach on horseback and that the public is informed about access routes when sidewalks or roads are closed."

I THINK THEY FORGOT.
