Just wondering how long it will be before people hit Wall Street in Protest ....

Might be wise to go ahead and secure the 'torch and pitchfork' concession for the Wall Street section.

Taking taxpayer money and using it to pay bonuses to the very people who drove the company into the ground, and then sucked up taxpayer money to keep the party going. These people are just flat out crooks. Not even a close call.

5. Folks weren't glued to their TVs back then.

I'm afraid the passing years haven't made us more active or more inclined to act in concert.

6. Well if things keep up

The way they are now, more americans losing jobs, only the "rich" will have a TV, so that might leave some time to march on Wall Street!

3. I wouldn't doubt it would happen

People are getting desperate. They did it during the depression... and this one has the potential to be worse, imho. There was no such thing as credit card debt during the depression.

4. Hopefully it will be from jumping out of their top-floor windows.

Lousy, lying thieves that they are.
