This time, “Occupy Wall Street”, is one of several times people not satisfied financial industry who caused “economic foam blow up demonstrations”.This time demonstration has developed a month. I do not worry the demonstration could increase into fierce, or “erupt large-scale conflict”, and end up of violence suppression. US is democratic country, the government institution and people, very clear their own rights and duty. Since for “conflict negotiation” aspect, either domestic or diplomatic, US has shown his experience and ability. As time goes, conflict negotiation in US has formed its “structure and mechanism”,even establish a set of system and discipline, that is - what is the most appropriate time and “method to intercept”and work for it. Even the populace at Wall Street, also understand this kind relationship between government and them.

So no need demonstrate anymore? Of course not. “Populace deliver grievances”,to express opinion, all these the constitution protects well. Demonstration is most favorable channel to entire display ones’ emotion and ration when denounce the government. So long as, not violate the law, the more demonstrations, the more manifest this country how open embody democracy. The extreme behavior has already been at both sides’ expectation. Yet “Democracy is process”,is a stage, allow different people having different opinion, but not guarantee target origins, and solve respective problem immediately.

Should problem solve, depends on government institution’s honest and ability. This time “Occupy Wall Street” populace testing the government how far they respect people's voice meantime, the government also testing the parliament, the president and the administration mechanism how far they can withstand the pressure. It may be said another type of “pressure test”. In fact, “ financialization of America”, has impact much on American politics, economic, livelihood of people, and society for years. Before, there have been several times similar demonstrations, particularly at the time of people living at the rule of extreme right’s safeguard big enterprises “trickle down” policy, i.e. high unemployment, big enterprise low tax, middle class high tax, social security reduces, make problem worse.

Be justice, this time “Occupy Wall Street”, people’s grievances to financial industry arriving “boiling point”. Most blamable focus 90% nation income concentrates at hands of tenth population “financial elites”and big enterprises. However these alligators are involved in lot of negative bribes news, that make people disgust and angry. Not to say there are many wealthy persons “becoming rich by breaking rule”, through “derivation tools”undergoing excessive loan and speculation, causes regional and global financial debts crisis and the economical foam blow up. That impacts much innocent populace livelihood, even their pension “big shrink back”. All these cause people against “polarization of developing financial industry” alarm signal.

New York resident said, 20% of New York workers, nearly 90% employment opportunities neither the financial industry provide, no wonder New York resident so indignation, namely nor the “reciprocal society responsibility”.

To me, this time “Occupy Wall Street”, the nature not attributes “French Revolution”, due to the populace fight for overthrow the feudalism that established freedom, democracy, fraternity society; not 17thc British revolution, due to the “Industrial Revolution” fight for improve labor working condition; not “China 1911 Revolution”,due to overthrow foreign tribe empire dynasty, established republican regime; not "1917 Russian Revolution" due to overthrow Tzarist Autocracy seized by workers; not late 1980’s “Eastern Europe Revolution”, due to overthrow Communist Rule; not recent “Jasmine Revolution”, due to overthrow Dictators’ Rule; This time “Occupy Wall Street”, is kind of “New Economic Revolution”, people angry with financial industry dominate country all aspects, politics, economic, people livelihood, and society. If this time, financial industry do nothing but win the rivalry, while people “idleabout reform”, society enjoy themselves “status quo”,thus really a nightmare.
