The Wall Street Extortion Scheme
NEW YORK (Frameshop) – Beyond the tear gas and stun grenades, the latest attempt to discourage and disperse Americans protesting against economic injustice has come from Wall Street types heading into the street to denounce the evils of government, extol the virtues of unregulated globalism, and finger the real source of financial suffering: Americans who, supposedly, would sell their own children into slavery just to make sure WalMart never runs out of cheap cell phones and 50-gallon drums of Juicy Juice. In terms of persuasion and meaningful debate, the effort has been useless. Not a single protester has moved to anything but more anger and resolve by these obnoxious arguments.

Interestingly, however, these new encounters have served a purpose: they have captured on tape the ongoing extortion scheme Wall Street robber barons heretofore reserved for closed-door meetings.

1. "...Wall Street types heading into the street to denounce the evils of government..."
"Not a single protester has moved to anything but more anger and resolve..."

....what the wall street types don't understand is that we realize that the rich can live handsomely off of foreign profits indefinitely as we starve with inadequate or no jobs at home....

....their obligation is to provide us with decent jobs and adequate compensation or we'll have to scrap them and their economic system for something that provides us sustenance....

....all the economic distress caused by wall street and the economic elite amounts to nothing more than transferring money from the pockets of the poor to the pockets of the rich to solve a problem the rich created and profited from in the first place....
