Wall street protesters are on their third week. Hundreds were arrested in New York on Saturday. More than 700 demonstrators marched across the Brooklyn Bridge and many blocked car lanes, which  they were arrested. The protesters are fed up with the corruption of Wall Street and bail outs from tax-payers. The protesters are making a statement and are expressing themselves that they are getting rich (bankers, government) while the majority of people are struggling to make ends meet.
