What is that going to accomplish? You can't hurt wall street. They just think you are an annoying gnat. Want to have a real complaint? Start looking to see where the jobs are. They are gone. Gone around the world. Third world countries and China. They aren't coming back no matter how long you occupy. Not as long as we ignore the real problem. Companies leave here because it is cost effective to do so. Tell Washington DC we won't accept this any longer. The problem is all the regulations that are dumped on our companies by the EPA. Also minimum wage. Should we become like third world countries and China? Lower our min wage and lower our standard of clean air and water. NO! But what I do think is that we should pass a law that says no ship comes into this country from another that doesn't have the same high standards that we do. I know that we have all this free trade but I think we should have people that go to these companies and make sure they live up to our standards. The standards that our government puts on us. Are we hipocrites that say we have to have these high standards but we will then allow ships to come here carrying all this cargo from emission guzzling 50cents an hour countries. (guzzling may not be the right word but you know what I mean) We have all this paper work and inspectors to make sure that our companies comply with our regulations. I say we have the same for any company that sends anything into our country. In other words level the playing fields. Neither Republicans or Democrats want to hear this. Know why? Because they all are making money from the way things are! Yes from wallstreet but the root of the problem is Washington DC!
