  1. Hi there! This is Hope. I enjoy the cartoon your picked as it is, of course, an extremely recent event and seems to affect this country in a number of ways. I would like to respond to your third question. No, I personally don't think the people will ever fully trust Wall Street again unless there are some major changes with how people see the world and how they control their greed. People are greedy but we can stop being greedy, in my opinion. It's better not to be. People are greedy for power and money. We should learn a lesson from these protests. :)

  2. I love this political cartoon. I feel as if this is a refreshing view point, and I really enjoyed it. I feel as if the people who are protesting, and trying to make change are being represented so well. I would like to respond to your third question. I think the people will trust wall street again one day, but it's going to take a lot of time and a lot of change. The impact of the economy in government would need to be reformed in order for the people to want to invest their money again.

  3. In response to your second question, I think that this is an accurate view, unless there was no sarcasm, about how the investors at wall street make decisions based on "whats best", but it isn't what is best for the people, its what is best for the investors. As for the protesters i think this view also fits, because it shows the anger that the people have for the others down at wall street who are screwing the economy just so they can gain power, money, etc.
