The "Occupy Wall Street" movement seems to be gaining attention, despite attempts by the neo-Cons to ignore and discredit what's happening. This cartoon depicts what many of the "Other 99%" feel has been going on for far too long: "The Rescue Plan - American Style".
There was a very amusing exchange between Kevin O'Leary (of Dragon's Den, which I don't watch) and Chris Hedges. If anyone still doesn't understand what the protest movement is all about, this clip will certainly help fill the knowledge gap.
There was a much more civilized exchange between Michael Enright and Chris Hedges on the CBC Radio show The Sunday Edition of October 2. You can find the audio here. It's very worthwhile listening.
Perhaps we've reached the limit of tolerance for most ordinary people. Unfettered capitalism, a complete lack of any corporate morals and a complicit government that removes regulatory oversight and then uses the taxpayer to fix the mess once things fall apart. It doesn't take a "left-wing nut-bar" to understand how wrong this is.
It's not that hard to understand. Keep the protest going.
