Ralph Nader: March on DC should have been a march on Wall Street

[max]

Nader is a lefty with some weird views....but he's right from time to time....sincere and ballsy

He just said on radio show that DC is just a puppet of what he calls "Wall Street"...which we really know means the FED.

How cool would it be if a million patriots marched on the FED?

[Flash]

Would be great if we could get Glenn Beck to organize such a thing..
one could dream.

You mean like a sit-in? Wouldn't be surprised if this started to happen given the outrageous treatment of Americans by those in positions of trust.

Thank goodness Americans created personal computers and the INTERNET!

Wow, Love the idea.

DC is the right target. To an extent, it may be true that Wall street is the boss, but DC is the hitman -- and the hitman has to go down first.

march at the fed

great idea. We need another establishment target to terrify...

Shutting down wall street for the day would be an amazing display of power and authority of the movement.

Absolutely! Love the idea. I think Washington was needed first, but Wall Street is very creative.

Dang. Let's do it. Anyone have Ron Paul's phone number?

Ok, but not necessarily for the reasons Nader may have in mind. Proceed with caution. Easy to co-opt this as a demonstration against capitalism. The connection between Wall Street and government must be kept at the forefront...with emphasis on the FED.

I agree. FED, or the bailed out FAILURES which are causing revolutionary pressures to build by not allowing downward social mobility of FAILURES.

Glenn Beck is outspoken against the Fed and a strong supporter of the audit the Fed bills.

I think we should do both to send a message. In my opinion, DC is just a firewall for Wallstreet. The real crooks controlling the shots are there. DC is a just spineless opportunists, and traitors. What do you expect from politiicans? They can and will be replaced. This would be a great way to differentiate ourselves from the neocons.

Very simple. We protest big government at walstreet. That will send a clear message. lol.

Wall street isn't the fed. Wall street is corporations.

Government is doing the dirty work for corporations. Supporting free markets and capitalism doesn't mean you support the wealth disparity, lending practices, and unethical business practices we see illustrated on Wall Street.

Big government is bad not because the concept of representative government is bad, but because it begins to represent a limited group of wealthy people. Breaking the back of the government is going to destroy most large businesses, so we are going to have a hard time saying we are pro-business in the typical republican meaning of the term.
