I'm conflicted. Some of them are obviously ignorant tools (ones protesting crony capitalism while wearing Obama 2012 shirts come to mind.......lol). However some of them actually seem to have real beefs with how things are going.
Generally speaking some of them seem to realize the problem is not with one party or the other its with the SYSTEM those two parties have created for themselves. They have a monopoly on power and they give the people the illusion of choice to maintain that monopoly. What I don't like is those that are blaming "wall street" like wall street didn't get LOTS AND LOTS of help from their friends in Washington.
As far as those claiming these people are enemies of the U.S.: That is fking retarded. -------------- They seem to be accomplishing very little of substance HOWEVER this is the most coherent list of demands I"ve come across: If you want to prevent (or at least lessen) the financial crisis that Caused this: 1 Reinstate the Glass Steagall Act that separates commercial and investment banks, enacted during the Depression and repealed in 2000, eight years before the crisis. 2 Regulate the credit rating agencies.
3 Reward and recognize companies that keep jobs in the US 4 Don't allow mortgage backed securities to be resold with a different rating 5 Use Anti-trust laws to break up companies and banks that are too big to fail 6 Repeal the Commodities and Futures Modernization Act of 2000 that de-regulates Derivatives.
Hello. The capitalism sistem is not this devil that everyone tell. I think that this protest are legitimate against greed of Wall Streed investors.
The Europe hardly escape this crisis.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
