Yes, I do identify with the OWS movement in many respects. Look at it this way: If you go to the bank and the bank manager asks you if you have the income to afford a loan and you tell him you don't know, but he still makes you a loan, who's at fault? Answer: the banker. The banker is supposed to be the one to exercise due diligence. The borrower may or may not be knowledgeable in finance, but the banker is always supposed to be. So, I hold the banksters responsible for all the bad loans they made. As for the government, they had no right to bail out the banks and auto companies. Whether or not the banks paid back the loans is irrelevant; the loans should never have been made to begin with and that's one of the major points of OWS. Yes, ultimately, it's class warfare with the banks (which run the country) on the one side and the common folk on the other side. If that sounds to Marxian for you, so be it. Paterno and all the higher ups (ie; President) were out to uphold the integrity of Penn State at the expense of the youngsters who were sexually abused. I've spent the vast majority of my life living in NYC and let me assure you, the vast majority of New Yorkers have nothing but disadain and disrespect for most who work on Wall Street. Although I have an interest in the market, I can tell you honestly that the biggest slimeballs I have ever met on planet earth are Wall Street Investment Bankers. I say this unequivocally and have profited handsomely in the markets since the early 1980s. No doubt, there are some good private companies. But I have never met one that publicly traded on the NYSE or Nasdaq. All these companies care about is profit and they will lay off workers with no qualms whatsoever for the sake of improving their bottom line. The tide is beginning to turn as this obsession with profit and greed has now begun to destroy the capitalist system itself, which is what Marx predicted when he was alive. The fire to conceal the truth and the infinite love of the Almighty Dollar are one and the same spirit that OWS is out to target and attack.
