Well, I guess Herman Cain is OK with big banks who were bailout paying out big bonuses. Don't get how that's fair though.
"Republican presidential contender Herman Cain amplified his criticism Sunday of the growing Occupy Wall Street movement, calling the protesters 'jealous' Americans who 'play the victim card' and want to 'take somebody else's' Cadillac." (LA

Comments Off
Nassim Taleb, author of "The Black Swan" and a New York University professor, discusses the "Occupy Wall Street" protest and his view of the global banking system. Taleb, speaking with Erik Schatzker on Bloomberg Television's "InsideTrack," also discusses the need to apply the principles of "Hammurabi's Code" to the banking system. The big worthy for Taleb is it might be too late and the protests could lead to out and out class warfare.   This report is an excerpt. (Source:

Yeah, you knew one of these days you'd see this. Even at protests you're going to have a selection of beautiful and diverse women who stand out and catch the eye. And come on, why do you think so many young kids are out there? Well, it's right here in the video: the beautiful girls. And the video just might draw more single men to the protests. Nothing wrong with that. Who said protests can't be fun and serious. After all, CNBC's Maria Bartiromo is called the 'Money Honey', what's wrong with a few honeys protesting Wall Street. A couple of

Here is the full transcript of The Reformed Broker's, (Josh Brown), rant on why the protesters are protesting down at Occupy Wall Street. Don't think one could lay it out any better than this - it's short and sweet and gets right to the point:
In 2008, the American people were told that if they didn't bail out the banks, there way of life would never be the same. In no uncertain terms, our leaders told us anything short of saving these insolvent banks would result in a depression to the American public. We had to do it! At our

Comments Off
This quote sure is going to go over well with the Occupy Wall Street protesters. I'm sure this will stir some things up and give them a jolt of energy to continue their efforts. Make more signs. March more. Stay longer. Many say the protesting will start to fade once the cold weather in New York comes. Quotes like these might change that.
“Most people view it as a ragtag group looking for sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll,” said one top hedge fund manager. “It’s not a middle-class uprising,” adds another veteran bank executive. “It’s fringe groups. It’s people who
