Wall Street Protester Explains Why They are There

Most of the reasons given for protesting are a mix of incongruent, irrational and emotional hypocritical demands. Many of the protesters, if not most, out for a bit of gregarious fitting in, in hopes to be as relevant as their protest antecedents from the late 1960's. Most of the nerdy guys are looking for a chance at sex because facebook was already stolen by some other nerds a few years ago.
There are some unhygienic similarities.
The one demand that is said by some, probably by chance, mixed in the irrational, is the demand for a bail-out for the regular people.
The insiders got bailed out and they continued their crony business as usual. The same bonuses flowed, campaign contributions continued, the Fed loans at 0% were put into low % T-bills and various bonds with limited risk and guaranteed return on 0% debt rather than loaned on property and businesses as the bailouts were ostensibly announced as part of the stimulus.
So why not forgive the debt of the people as a declared "jubilee"? It makes more sense than a $Trillion crony stimulus.
