Susan Sarandon, celebrity mascot of left-wing causes, spent a day at the protest, finding the demonstration incredibly moving. “I don’t know that much about Wall Street, but if I was running a business and I made that big of a mistake and lost that many people’s future, I don’t think I would get a bonus or even keep my job,” Sarandon told reporters.

To be frank, I work hard, I maintain generally acceptable hygiene and I prefer to sleep in a bed rather than a sidewalk. With that said – these individuals are bringing attention to a real problem. Wall Street does seem to have advantages that the rest of the so-called 99 percent of society do not. The problem with this movement, however, is that this is essentially where the protestors’ understanding of Wall Street ends. While these individuals likely understand very little about economics, the financial system or politics, they are bringing attention in a general sense to the problem, so in that regard, I’m thankful.
It is the furthering of that discussion that I’m hoping to do today with this column- at least in a small way. I would submit that a “Get Washington Out” campaign would be more fitting.
