A Nightmare on Wall Street...





Watch and share this video presented by the National Nurses United promoting a financial transaction tax on Wall Street trading to help restore the economy. The video portrays a banker whose greed contributes to the economic meltdown of a nation, resulting in lost pensions and jobs, as well as home foreclosures, and financial ruin for many Americans. The entertaining video short is inspired by The Twilight Zone, an American television anthology series created by Rod Serling.

This video makes you feel good, but Obama, Holder, and the entire system must hold the crooks accountable. Occupy won't go away until they do.

Great vid, although no real Wall Street slug would actually have nightmares about what he/she has done.

Sadly, this video is a bit too tame. Wall Street bankers will just take their xanax, listen to their Hank Williams Jr. Cd's, and curl up with their inflatable Rush Limbaugh dolls, and they will sleep quite well. The American people must drink their Get Tough Milkshakes... We must not request change...we must demand it.... and not incremental change... but massive, super sized change. The 99% must unite together and focus our anger productively in this mighty cause. As David Hasslehoff once said, "Forget belief systems. Forget the perimeters of rational thinking (as it's so smugly called). Feel, my friends! Feel!" I am Abraham Fungus Jr., and I approved this message!
