So, people are poor because they buy commodities they don't need but can't repay back because of greedy banks?
As I said before, you're just a bunch of hypocrites. No, I don't own stock nor do I work in the financial sector. Just because you think you're the 99% doesn't mean everyone in the 99% agrees with you...
Hypocrites!
That's not what #OWS is protesting. You're angry and a lot of people are. You might want to watch this:

Deregulation led to a mix of "banking," "speculation," and derivatives trading in a dark market. Wall Street was bailed out by the government because they engaged trading in highly risky securities--all due to Federal Reserve board chairman Greenspan, with complicity by Clinton and Bush.
At a high level, this guy has it right: http://groobiecat.blogspot.com/2011/10/okay-now-heres-what-this-is-really.html --the real conservatives are #OWS because they want the rule of law to hold sway again. The radicals are the ones defending a very broken system...
This isn't a simple message, and it's not about being hypocritical. It's about basic fairness and a system that has become corrupt that favors the very few at the expense of the very many--and both parties have been responsible.
Peace.
