What is Occupy Wall Street about? (Quora Answer)
I don't believe anyone is genuinely confused about what this is about. It doesn't matter what silly things people put on signs or chant in drum circles. Let's at least be honest with ourselves.
Like many who have worked in finance, I support derivatives, financial markets, hedge funds, leverage, speculation, innovative financial products, the profit motive, private enterprise and wealth accumulation for innovators. And, yet, I know exactly what this is about.
We all know. Every last one of us. Let us all wish the few the best of luck and be big enough to say "You lead when no one else would."
