Bailout = Bullshit (Rainforest Action Network, Flickr)

On Wednesday, October 1st, Activists with Rainforest Action Network hung an enormous American flag with “FORECLOSED?” emblazoned on it right behind the iconic Wall Street bull. I saw the police trying to take it down on my way to work. About 30 protesters gathered around with signs saying “families before finances” and “our money, our planet, our future.”

While Congress is on the verge of a bailout, it’s clear that many people want to hold Wall Street accountable for its own economic downfall. This could be a rare occasion when the commies and some Republicans agree: let Wall Street fail. Those on the far left are eager to see what happens when Capitalism is left to its own devices and those on the far right want to keep the free market intact.

Let’s give it a shot and please ‘em both.
