Anonymous | Occupy Wall Street September 22, 2011 | Day 6 | Peaceful Protest - The Place for Resources on Gold. - Exchange Gold for Cash. 99 Percenters Occupy Wall Street. If 2,000 tea party activists descended on Wall Street, you would probably have an equal number of reporters there covering them. Yet 2,000 people did occupy Wall Street on Saturday. They weren’t carrying the banner of the tea party, the Gadsden flag with its coiled snake and the threat “Don’t Tread on Me.” Yet their message was clear: “We are the 99 percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent.” They were there, mostly young, protesting the virtually unregulated speculation of Wall Street that caused the global financial meltdown. One of New York’s better-known billionaires, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, commented on the protests: “You have a lot of kids graduating college, can’t find jobs. That’s what happened in Cairo.
That’s what happened in Madrid. Perhaps to the chagrin of Mayor Bloomberg, that is exactly what inspired many who occupied Wall Street. I interviewed one of the “Occupy Wall Street” protest organizers. OccupyWallSt.org | The American Revolution Begins Sept 17th.
