<<Wall Street doesn't make law. Cain is correct about protesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Going to the front of the WH tells everybody in Congress we know where the problem lies. All the lawmakers have to do is make laws that work, that they will abide by, and deals with the problems. Changes to tax law, dealing with corruption, bribery, and other crimes by Congress will go a long way in fixing the probes with Wall Street; and since Wall Street can't do what Congress does then clearly the problem is with Congress not Wall Street.>>
The problem is precisely that Wall Street DOES make law - - through their hundreds of lobbyists, their campaign funding of candidates over and under the table, and the Congressmen and Senators that they have bought and paid for. In your view, and Cain's as well, Congress is independent of Wall Street. In my view, Hedges' view and the demonstrators' view, special interests (including but not limited to Wall Street) have bought and paid for Congress. That's what I meant when I said that Wall Street OWNS Washington.
THAT'S why the demonstrators have occupied Wall Street, to dramatize their POV, which is that Wall Street owns Washington. To go to the White House instead, as Cain suggests, would serve only to dramatize Cain's POV, that Wall Street does NOT own Washington. Why on earth would the demonstrators want to dramatize Cain's POV when they have their own POV, diametrically opposed to Cain's, to dramatize?
