Last month a group of activists denouncing corporate greed and the true difference between the rich and the poor began a very loosely organized protest in the financial capital of the world, New York's Wall Street. The “Occupy Wall Street” movement is now spreading virally across the United States, including Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and San Francisco.
According to AJ Discala of The Broadsmoore Group, “We are equally as responsible for making a difference as we are for making a profit. Wall Street needs to invest in the job-creating, productive economy. The fundamental mission of America's commercial banks should be to invest in Main Street businesses which are too small to access the capital markets. In recent years, profits and bonuses became commercial banking’s immediate imperative, and the disruption caused by this departure from core businesses is one major focus in the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. At The Broadsmoore Group our main objective is not fee generation, but rather developing fundamentally sound business partnerships and ultimately strengthening our economy."
