Wall Street Protestors don't hate success, they hate HUGE rewards for FAILURE.
It's the $11 million severance packages for failed CEOs and executives, It's Bank of America laying off thousands of workers to turn a higher profit and then instituting higher bank fees to gouge their customers for even MORE profit, it's the piggish mentality. It's rewarding people for failure. It's not OUR job to make this right, it's THEIR job to not make it wrong.

6. Yep. If any of us fucked up the way they did WE wouldn't be given 6 months

to find a new position and a 2 year's salary as a severance package. We'd maybe get two weeks pay and be out the door - if we were lucky.

But the hell of it is, most are NOT getting severance pay for their royal fuckups. They are keeping their jobs and getting bonuses besides.

edit for typo

11. That needs to be the biggest occupy sign at all the sites.
Rewarded for failure, dishonesty, undermining the country's security.

15. I'm also mad because even the wall street 'successes' are frauds
coming mostly from backroom insider deals, manipulating stock prices and rigging the system while sitting buddy-buddy with an indifferent watchdog
