When we went to protests in my college days in the 1960's, we shared simple goals -- to end the war in Vietnam and to procure full civil rights for all Americans. The protest on Wall Street has no such straightforward agenda. There's a feeling of betrayal and a clearcut understanding of the corporate greed that led to the current collapse, but there aren't any solutions being put forth. The boards of directors, the CEO's, the brokers -- none of them are being held accountable for the damage they knowingly inflicted, not only on this country, but on European economies as well.
