There's a book out there worth reading... The Best Way to Rob A Bank is Own One.

Not much difference between then and now as to what the owners are doing.

I'm looking for a news article that can confirm this, but not finding one... anyone?
I heard it on the Thom Hartman show. I can't find anything either. His sources are usually good and something usually shows up days later in the lame stream media.

Why is not more being made of the hard-left slant of these protesters. Their desire to force wealth re-distribution. Their demands to be leeches on the backs of people that work hard and earn their money. Sure, there are problems on Wall Street. But the problems with the economy are not on Wall Street, they are in the White House and the Congress. They are with NAFTA and all other, so-called "free trade" agreements with the third world that export American jobs. They are with the failed housing policies of DNC heavy-hitters, such as Franks and Teddy Kennedy, that demanded banks lend to people who should have NEVER gotten a loan.

The problems with the American economy rest squarely in Washington, and much of it with the failed policies of the DNC.

In 2007, even with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we had a deficit spending of $160 Billion. That was bad enough. In 2011 it will be $1.4 TRILLION, nearly 10x as much. We also have not had a budget since 2009. Who is to blame? Barrack Hussein Obama and his Democrat friends - no one else.

I found a few articles about it, bt you have to dig. Appears they are keeping it really quiet. I found one that was really good and explained exactly what it means for us.. Here's one here.

Interestingly, people forget that it was a very Liberal movement that started the US!

Perhaps because that aren't that many people willing to follow through with
such a biased misunderstanding of what the OWS folks actually find wrong with the masters of the universe.

Or is it because it is expedient to the actual masters of the "OWS folks", the left-wing of the DNC, and their desperation not to lose the White House in 2012? After all, communist imagery doesn't resonate with mainstream America. Nixon should have lost in 1972, but he did not. Have you ever asked yourself why the Democrats were unable to defeat Nixon in 1972?

These "protesters" should be protesting Congress and the White House as their policies have failed the nation. They would never do that, for obvious reasons.

KG, where are you getting this stuff from? You wanna share your sources? Which bank do you work for?

Why protest the White House? The big problems happened when Bush was in power. He be gone now. Or did you forget that the bank failures, the economic collapse, TARP, etc happened on HIS watch?
