American.

It won't.

-- you keep -- angle where letting -- have the downtown New York City workers banding together today to block occupiers.

As benchmarks for the New York Stock Exchange was treated on tobacco leading that.

John is that -- -- enough for you.

Well -- a lot of the business -- down in the financial district feel like enough is enough for ready.

These protesters are out there for two months now -- they haven't exactly one ounce of change other than everyone's daily quality of life getting to work go when the launch.

Vendors around the clock can't even get people to come and -- what they -- take -- -- Maine has taken on is we got a bunch of small business owners together we had about fifty small business owners from New York City today on hand ready to get behind the protest it's hard to get everybody to pick up those signs but they -- there in spirit.

And we thought that -- Any good occupation could never be ended without some resistance in these guys have had basically run of the mill downtown.

Well hardworking guys unilateral pluses is that -- -- once we're gonna show them a little resistance and see how they react and I don't know if you saw today you know but they never made -- -- New York Stock Exchange students it was just this.

Like they've never gotten violent and never got nasty you know a lot of shout we will come -- after us.

They was screaming -- trying to get my face and hands on us what your posters were in the -- what's this army and -- always wanted to say most are right here.

I don't know if you got that okay occupier deaths occupy a desk and my brother had -- another clever sign that took us a lot of time to come up with get a job.

Was trying to.

What we thought we'll kind of Smart protest points to say hey if you're out there trying to occupy a desk you wouldn't have time to occupy our park and affect -- aren't they saying guys like you are -- on the money.

Well guys they just aren't hogging all the money whether we're in the 1% or not if we -- -- some of us is still hanging on to a -- were really and as the 53% -- taxpayers.

-- paying taxes would go to work every day and then our tax dollars of going to police emergency services fire and sanitation to take care and -- these people and clean up after him and the city's already bankrupt so why we worked in mod.

Just a whole bunch of bombs -- -- -- walk and simple thing -- three meals that doesn't make sense at some point.

You got to draw a line in the sand.

Today we started.

You know -- on -- something that wanna up the end of today to go from protest -- disrupted.

We're seeing them bought bridges and Detroit I don't know what else they're doing elsewhere.

Rescind takeover large spots a lower Manhattan not discussed -- these streets they -- and and that they're gonna build them into their argument from movement leaders if there's such a thing.

This is I think dumped on New York now where a lot of them sort of taken on the streets is that this is gonna get bigger and maybe better when -- You know -- -- My brother and I walking down the street with these signs there would say 80% of the people that we -- made eye contact with saint thumbs up.

Good job.

-- -- guys argue now not only got -- -- -- people was saying hey that's what I'm thinking.

I just don't know had to say and people when you're in the majority is silent majority in you have to go to your desk every day they don't know how to go out make the point and we started today say hey we have a movement.

That about 300 people that when they got the Wall Street.

We had fifty so the way I look at it is we're doing a lot better than 1% when it comes to protest and they never made it to New York Stock Exchange so we did -- job today.

We're ready we're growing I mean we have Wall Street fighters is off FaceBook page and we are getting BC drew people -- -- You guys -- give you credit.
