When will the people who are involved in the occupy movement be satisfied?

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of laws against financial activities that are profitable in the short-term, but endanger the whole economy in the long-term, "When will you be satisfied?"

We can never be satisfied as long as occupy movement people are the victims of unspeakable police brutality. We can never be satisfied when billions of dollars are paid in bonuses in one year to people who make decisions at investment banks that would have fallen like dominoes if there had been no government bailout. We can never be satisfied as long as the financial activities that created the financial crisis of 2008, and the economic crisis of today, remain legal.

Note: some elements of style were borrowed from this speech:
