It’s Time to Make the Wall Street Banks Pay!

Across the country people are demanding that Wall Street banks pay for destroying jobs and neighborhoods with their greedy, irresponsible and predatory business practices. Thousands have been occupying Wall Street in New York City for almost two weeks and more are occupying banks and financial districts in major cities across the US daily.
