What is your take on the Wall Street protests?

[Randi]

I believe the world is in a bit of trouble with this sort of thing, and something needs to be done. The gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" is widening every day. On one hand you have people who struggle to make ends meet and on the other you have people who make SO much money that they wouldn't be able to spend it in 10 lifetimes.
My take on the protesters, is that they want to do something about the ever widening gap.

This is exactly what's happening and people have had enough!! The financial crisis is not the ordinary working class person's fault. A lot have been laid off over the past few years, and more will follow. Once you're past fifty, it's almost impossible to find a job.

Like SAS says, the banks are having a meltdown. They have been too greedy. Stockholders are losing their money - however, I don't have much sympathy with them, they have been trying to get money from doing absolutely nothing, except speculating. I certainly understand the protests!

In Denmark, politicians get a pension from the state and they get another pension as well. Some get more than $10.000 a month for sitting on their a§§es, which taxpayers pay.

An article from a newspaper:

The protests against the global financial sector is now moving towards Europe. In Denmark, people are ready to go to the streets to demonstrate against the big banks' greed and capitalism in general. A Danish movement that calls themselves Occupy Denmark, invites on Facebook people to demonstrate Saturday. 15 to 18 at City Hall Square in Copenhagen. This is done in solidarity with similar demonstrations around the world.

In London, more than 3,500 people volunteered for a similar demonstration on Saturday. Stream is ready to support the Unity List Finance and Industry spokesman Frank Aaen says he is ready to support and assist a Danish citizen movement who rebel against the financial sector. I would also like to help raise some of the problems, "says Frank river. "It is grotesque that while we have helped banks with billion warranties, and they simultaneously before allowed to borrow at low interest rates in the National Bank, then, thousands of Danes sacked and punished with higher interest rates," he says.
