Cornel West says that out of all the crimes committed by all the bankers not one of them has been investigated and this is because of the positions of power they hold.
He goes on to say that occupy Wall Street was more like a Jazz quartet than a military band. The reason why there was no single streamlined voice coming out of the movement was because it's the early stages of revolution, their just getting their instruments together so they can find their voices.
