Bloomberg: Occupy Wall Street Is Targeting People 'Struggling To Make Ends Meet'
Jillian Rayfield | October 3, 2011, 12:41PM

New York City's billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks the Occupy Wall Street protesters shouldn't be fighting Wall Street, because most of those people are "struggling to make ends meet."

Bloomberg continued. "We need the banks, if the banks don't go out and make loans we will not come out of our economic problems, we will not have jobs."

He added: "Also we always tend to blame the wrong people. We blame the banks. They were part of this, but so were Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and Congress and you and me and everybody."

Here's the audio:
