I was intrigued by the wall street protests, now I love it, 3 events that increased my interest.

1) You may not know Paul Singer the hedge fund dude, one of the 100,000 households in the US that own 90+% of the nations assets, and has been fingered already as paying hired writers to write degrading stories about the Wall Street protestors.  Since news organizations all over the nation have laid off many of their real reporters, they simply buy or use stores sold or given to them, sha-zam, that's how the climate deniers are making it happen, they flood TV and print with corporate friendly stories bringing us back to the afore mentioned douche water's project.  (Clarence Thomas is another of his projects along with Ms. Thomas for whom he "donates" to her reichwing "hobbies". )

2) I saw the GE CEO last night on 60 minutes.  I figured he was a nice guy trying to help America, and I always disliked Leslie Stall's style of fawning over men she interviewed.  Wow, surprise.  The guy came off as a capitalist dick who can smile when he insults you as he did to her, and Leslie didn't let him off the hook on everything he puked out.  This prick did us a service, he said things people needed to hear and think about, that American capitalism has no interest nor patriotic morals nor responsibility to pay taxes here, or create jobs here, return their profits here, nothing for America, nothing except a military rock to hide under.  As for her question about low pay in his US shops and how can that build or sustain a middle class his answer was also what people need to hear, "thousands apply for those jobs", get it, that was all there was to it.  And the creme-de-le-creme, he said "people protesting on Wall Street should be rooting for me".   This sums up the race to the bottom, the killing off of the middle class, the grab for billions in cash and assets, the belief the public either does or should love corporations without question, and a get out of jail free card on regulation, fairness, empathy, environment, shared responsibility, support for those displaced by new technologies and markets.  To sum up, Darwin Capitalism.

3) A number of GOP congressmen/senators have said in the last few days these protests have to be stopped  immediately or we may return to the 60's.  Hell, I think we go back further than that if the protests don't continue.
