the occupy wall street protests

After protests in Spain, Greece and loads of other countries they have landed in the United States. Occupy Wall Streets is a movement for the 99% against the 1%. That 1% stands for the wealthiest Americans who control almost 75% of the nations wealth. Far from us being a political blog we think it is strange that banks and bankers tend to make loads of money of of other people’s misery, but when they hit troubled waters they need those same people’s tax money to bail them out and keep them in play and work. A little bit of dignity and some moral standards would go a long way.
