Occupy Wall Street

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/09/opinion/sunday/protesters-against-wall-street.html?_r=1&ref=editorials

This editorialist is of the opinion that the solution to all of the economic problems is clear, yet nothing is being done simply because "no one in Washington has been listening." Additionally, he/she sides with protesters as he/she criticizes the financial sector for profiting off of people's bad luck. Then he/she suggests that instead of protecting banks, the government should be helping those really in need by creating jobs and fostering full-time employment. Thus the editorial attacks the government for twiddling their thumbs while their country needs them most, and also those who profit from the bad economy.
