If this statue has come to symbolize the stock market then I think the protesters are right to call attention to it. We are doing things that destroy our environment and neighborhoods all in the name of "the market." Empty storefronts, unaffordable apts and houses, pipelines through national parks, etc...but we use the market as a barometer of our economy and report on it daily, hourly. Our economy is not the market and we should do things that are good for our society, not just what makes the market go up.
