People have been sitting in Zucotti Park in Lower Manhattan advocating “Occupy Wall Street”, a anti-corporate protest against Wall Street bankers that aims to change a number of vast problems in America. These complaints range from mortgage foreclosure to torture but Breakingviews offers a four-point partial manifesto that can sum up the protesters’ goal.

To sum it up, the manifesto would have the following statements. Make banks safer and let them fail, name and shame those who receive huge bonuses and are earning up to more than twenty times the average man, free legislators from away from special interests for politicians to focus more on the common good than re-election, and lastly, change the two party system as it is entrenched in both rules and regulations, unable to commit to change.

In my opinion, the protesters should narrow down and state just exactly what changes they desire as there are mixed feelings attached to their cause. What exactly are they proclaiming? The “location and crowd makes for good TV”, but the cause is unclear and blurry. Simply stating that there is “a feeling of mass injustice” doesn’t address any real problems and leaves the demonstrations and desire for change looking as futile.
