Richest 1% of Americans are apparently.With
big fortunes but taxed at a lower rate than most.
Dissenting voices against the bailout.Contending
it as temporary life-support. Recapitalizing or
nationalization as suggested. Of the ‘big financial
culprits’ went unheeded. So who were behind
the protests anyway?.Adbusters an anti capitalist
Canadian grouping. That saw a violent Occupy
Wall Street uprising. It should trigger off like the
vicious Arab Spring. It rallied through the financial
districts. Around the world like the recent Arab

ReplyDeleteThese might be, these days before the fall, the good old days.
