I have to agree with nh. The OWSers are complaining to the wrong group. The corporations are simply taking advantage of the government's idiocy. All these people should be camped out on the steps of congress and at the homes of congressmen and senators, not at Wall Street. Government is the main problem due to their constant spending and constant bailouts. You want a solution? EVERYBODY needs to write letters to their congress persons and senators and tell them that if they don't get spending under control, they will ALL be voted out of office, regardless of their role, their party, or their voting records. And by getting spending under control, I mean to actually spend less than is earned, not create additional taxes to bring in more money just so they can match their insane spending. Social Security and Medicare need to be overhauled. All ridiculous government programs need to be cut or eliminated. Obviously, there will be some debate on what is considered ridiculous, but we all need to tell politicians that if this doesn't stop, they will ALL lose their jobs. Occupiers aren't saying that at all, they're just bitching about the amount of money corporations make. If they want to make a difference, they need to take their fight to Washington, not Wall Street.
