First, they need to be picketing the federal reserve. Wall street is lower level, an arm of the beast so to speak. Wall St corruption is caused by the fed reserve which is illegal in the first place.

2nd, the Obama admin and radical left like George soros aka georgy schwartz are attempting to hijack the movement in hopes of creating so much social turmoil to declare national emergency, martial law, and ultimately suspend elections. Call me paranoid but thems my .02.

fox news sure knows "good" journalism and chooses to interview the mindless hippies who just like to protest for the fuck of it


btw , here´s a good documentary about how the financial crisis got started. or at least these folks are ones who can be blamed. 

 the men who crashed the world :  part 1 / 4    http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/meltdown/2011/09/2011914105518615434.html

"In the first episode of Meltdown, we hear about four men who brought down the global economy: a billionaire mortgage-seller who fooled millions; a high-rolling banker with a fatal weakness; a ferocious Wall Street predator; and the power behind the throne."

What I want to know is why aren't these fucks protesting in Washington DC? Financial institutions aren't going to stop giving money to politicians simply because people say so. You can make a difference by protesting the politicians since their main priority is getting reelected (so they can receive lobby money). But since the White House and upper house of congress (Senate) is controlled by the Democrats, these liberal hippies wouldn't want to protest the politicians they so blindly worship.

Moved? It's called irony, that's all. Why would a picture like that invoke emotion?

the corporations are making soooo much profit and are giving the laborers the same wage as they were getting in the 80's even though the profit went through the roofs in the last 20 years, the same money they made off the labor class they are turning around and lending it back out to the labor class with a shit load of interest. it was only a matter of time. all the scum bag ceo's should get a public execution like they did back in the day.

There's protests in front of the white house all of the time, some don't even be in English.  The thing is that they usually have small groups of people rather than hundreds and thousands/millions

Irony doesn't apply here.  But the way you had put up that picture like it was supposed to be humorous/irony was bone-headed, that's all.

its disappointing at the end of the day knowing that there will be no real "revolution" the corporations cant be fucked with, they own the media- which all the big media fucks are ridiculing and marginalizing the protester because that's what the corporations want. the government has the corporations back obviously, so if shit ever got out of hand they will call in the military which over 50% of all US tax payers money is going to.

this shit was predicted over 100years ago, read the communist manifesto, too bad the general public has been dumb'd down through out the years to just keep going with the flow.

Honest question, not rhetorical at all:  How does irony not apply here?

Most of these people are protesting against the greed of corporations, while simultaneously feeding into that greed by buying 500 dollar phones, etc.  Wouldn't that be the definition of irony?
