Wall Street is the pillar of the New York state economy, making up 13 percent of tax contributions. “The protests that are trying to destroy the jobs of working people in this city aren’t productive,” Bloomberg said. Michael Bloomberg is apparently clueless or just wants to ignore reality. The protesters are rallying against corruption in those jobs. What I’d like to ask the Mayor is how good is the greed and corruption in those industries...

BarackObama.com launched a new service today called “Tweet for Jobs”. “A new tool to help you urge your Republican legislators to pass the American Jobs Act.” The tool locates your Republican representatives and shoots off a tweet to them urging them to get behind the bill.

Occupy Wall Street Begins To Democratically Form The List Of Demands; Opens Voting

Up until now the so far 10 day strong Occupy Wall Street has somewhat been directionless to a degree as no specific demands were voiced. Even some participants started to ask what it was they were demonstrating for specifically. The operating direction thus far has been to occupy and that demands would follow later. Welcome to later. Coupmedia.org is playing host to the official directive for creating the demands. Suggestions are being taken from the people for inclusion in the list to be voted on by all. At the moment there are 22 items being voted on. Leading the way...

The filmmaker was visibly giddy when saying expressing his happiness to be there. “I have spent over 20 years fighting Wall Street, General Motors, health insurance companies, the whole lot of them. A lot of that has been alone or with just a very few people. It warms my heart to see all of you here.” – Michael Moore Indeed, Moore spoke to that end in the...
