Irate Workers, Union Leaders Rally On Wall St.
Frustration mounted on Wall Street Thursday as a huge protest took place.
Demonstrators voiced their anger at the big banks who they say took the bailouts and still cut jobs.

The protest was organized by a group calling itself "The Other 98 Percent," who are demanding financial regulatory reform.
They want taxpayer protection from Wall Street mistakes and big bank excesses.

"These guys on Wall Street, they don't render any services at all.
They don't help the economy any except their own employees, their own little family," said protester Paul Akers.

The group is positioning itself to counteract the Tea Party movement,
asking for an economy that works for Main Street and not just Wall street,
or what it calls, "the other two percent."
