T/A ETF AND INDEX

[Torqputty]

What types of demands?

They will want leaders who accept responsibility and accountability for their actions, and who have value sets that prompt them to care more about those they represent than they do about themselves.

They will want an end to taxpayer bailouts, and an end to corporate governance structures that allow the positions of CEO and president of the board to be held by the same individual. It also has not been lost on protestors that back in 1965 CEO pay was 24 times greater than the average employee’s pay—and today is 300 times greater.

These protestors will also want our media to assume better responsibility for providing accurate, complete information rather than poisoning sound bites that fuel political frenzy and divert attention from critical matters that shape our nation’s future.

And finally, they’ll likely look for stiff penalties for offshore jobs creation while unemployment festers in the United States, and an end to the abdication of political leadership that has led to Washington gridlock.

Protestors may not yet define a unifying goal, but they are not confused about the fact that living conditions for the average American are rapidly deteriorating. And, what’s more, no one appears to be listening.
