I am ALLLLLL for the protesters here. BUT this is one, one of a very few, examples of where the cops seem to have done it right ! Thats how you end a non-violent protest. GOOD for that Captain.

The problem is the Federal Reserve system we have set up in this country. It is nothing but a banking cartel. Read, The Creature From Jekyll Island, by Griffin. You will be surprised.

The problem is many people where lied upon their own mortgages payments in the first place, because the goal of the lender wasn't to receive the monthly payments but to sell the contracts as a derivative instrument.

I don't believe that people who took out these mortgages on their own free will should get any help; however, at the same time, I don't believe that the banks should have received any Federal bailouts either. Had the Federal government kept out of the picture and let the big banks face failure, things would've not gotten this bad.
