The GOP would have you believe that , but that just shows they are ignorant and afraid of the facts.
The capitalist markets are rigged for the rich...Just bring back rules and regs that provide an honest and ethical and even playing field so that no-one has trading advantage over another.
It's rigged now for the rich only....why shouldn't middle-class America be able to make money on stocks,bonds etc?
Like I said....it is disinformation to accuse this movement of being ANTI-CAPITALISM......just another....of many ongoing lies of the GOP. Fed to you by the likes of the Koch brothers and Rushie Lardass .
The point is...the GOP wants people to think that these protest are about ending Wall Street.
It is not about that at all.....GOP is simply using the FEAR card to rile up investors.
The movement is in a very small but important part, about reforming trading rules and regs to eliminate unfair trading practices and over-extending leverage.
Also....TOO BIG TO FAIL......is not an option.
I don't get your comment. If "it" refers to capitalism, "it" was hardly done away with!!
As a friend pointed out, although the GOP would have people believe otherwise, FDR helped save capitalism. People were getting desperate and would have launched a great rebellion if it weren't for the New Deal.
Saved it by doing away with it in America?
