protesters if they actually have a definitive message for the banks and politicians. the protesters of occupy wall street are clearly fed up with wall street and with washington so what do you think they would have to say to their would be oppressors this week let's talk about that i would like to say you're human beings also do you see the suffering that people are going through you know what it's like we want the health insurance that you have everybody should have that health insurance we should have the basic rights in the basic care care of we the people more than your banker we need you to join us because they're just people to be an us versus them we need your help poor personhood what is that and corporations that are have felt as though it's ok to exploit people and exploit the planet for profit
