That video is one person and not representative of the everyone protesting. A lot of these people have lost jobs, homes, families, etc from the economic climate . . . and for others to mock them is just really distasteful. We are all in this together.

If what you are saying is true (and it is true) I think this protest should be going on not on Wall Street, but at the White House and Capital.

Remember we only do what the Government allows us to do...we only have bail outs because the government allowed bail outs. We have the mortgage crisis because the government thought everyone should have a home.

Just my two cents.
