I obviously don't speak for Tenderman, but most of my friends who work in the financial sector (I am in electric power conversion, self-employed) are not concerned about the protesters and find them a subject of comedy.
I don't approve of the protesters because they are leftists, but there is good in what they are doing. A friend of mine commented that when rebels fly the red banner on Wall Street, perhaps Washington will be stirred to action. It was after all the threat of Communism and the action of labor unions which brought us the unprecedented prosperity, employment, and equality of the postwar epoch.
ea303, thank you for your kind remarks.
Hooligan Harry, I don't see a dichotomy between my views and yours. In fact I strongly endorse a culture where success is rewarded and failure is punished. However, that doesn't mean I need to agree with the economic theories of the Cato Institute. The part about Edison is particularly ridiculous, as if technological innovation can't function unless there is no taxation or government regulation.
Tenderman, screw free speech. Political free speech for corporate organizations without limit (remember, this is NOT just business) is the free speech of the bull horn. Yell the loudest, drown out the others.
