10. It was brilliant, the way they condensed the evil of predatory capitalism into short, concise

phrase and made it a national issue.

I remember when DC was going after NY US Attorney Schneiderman when he refused to join all the others in signing an agreement that was going to let the Big Crooked Banks off the hook by paying a small fine which would be used to pay those whose homes had been wrongfully foreclosed on.

The amount they would receive amounted to an insulting few hundred dollars AND if they were desperate enough to accept it, they would forfeit their right to sue the Wall St. Criminal Banks who had stolen their property.

Pressure was on him, smear campaigns began against him. And then Occupy came out in tens of thousands to support him. He met with them.

Later he won a small victory, making sure that whether people accepted the pittance they were offered or not, they could STILL SUE the Big Banks.

He attributed his ability to stand firm in the face of all the pressure being placed on him, to Occupy Wall St who gave him the 'backing a politician needs from the people' when they are trying to fight for them.
