While I usually avoid these political threads (a) because this is all I did in college (b) because everyone tends to say the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, I just want to share this quote I read in an AP article covering it.
Quote:
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire who made his fortune as a corporate executive, has said the demonstrators are making a mistake by targeting Wall Street.
"The protesters are protesting against people who make $40- or $50,000 a year and are struggling to make ends meet. That's the bottom line. Those are the people who work on Wall Street or in the finance sector," Bloomberg said in a radio interview Friday.
The irony is palpable.
