"Occupy Wall Street has hit a chord with people, underscoring what many see as the primary problem of the U.S. economy -- the dominance of financial interests. A recent poll discovered that 43 percent of people agree with the views of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and only 27 percent disagree. Wall Street symbolizes all global financial institutions and we shouldn't forget that it was the behavior of these institutions which caused the financial meltdown and economic collapse in the first place. The financial collapse that first engulfed the U.S. economy in 2008 has left in its wake a record number of jobless, increasing poverty rates, and widespread loss of homes."
