Wall Street’s Masters of the Universe realize, deep down, how morally indefensible their position is. They’re not John Galt; they’re not even Steve Jobs. They’re people who got rich by peddling complex financial schemes that, far from delivering clear benefits to the American people, helped push us into a crisis whose aftereffects continue to blight the lives of tens of millions of their fellow citizens.
I know a lot of these Occupy Wall Street protestors have their heads in the sand when it comes to what they’re fighting for, but I hope this is the start of something big.
I hope the Democrats can turn their momentum into something useful and bring the fight to Republicans rather than lying down and accepting whatever scraps the GOP throws their way.
