Douglas Rushkoff vs. Wall Street

[Mark Kohut]

Anybody who wants it 'all' is hustling somewhere else to try to get it.

"Anyone who says he has no idea what these folks are protesting is not
being truthful. Whether we agree with them or not, we all know what
they are upset about, and we all know that there are investment
bankers working on Wall Street getting richer while things for most of
the rest of us are getting tougher. What upsets banking's defenders
and politicians alike is the refusal of this movement to state its
terms or set its goals in the traditional language of campaigns."

These folks are upset because WS bankers are getting rich while times
are getting tougher for the rest of us. So, now that the unions have
joined in, will the kids  want wall street jobs and big bonuses or
collective bargaigning,  pensions and health care? Will they want to
take away the bonus system from the wall streeters and give the wall
streeters collective bargaining? Or will they want bonuses for the
public unions? Or will they want wall street jobs with bonues and
collective bargaining, a defined pension, and universal health care?

I now know what they want. They want it all and they want the rich
wall streeters to pay for it.
