Too Big to Fail\
Too Big to Fail The article “A Movement Too Big to Fail” by Chris Hedges with his criticism of “faux liberal reformers, whose abject failure to stand up for the rights of the poor and the working class, have signed on to this movement because they fear becoming irrelevant”(Hedges) to the reformers along with heads of financial leaders. Through non violent movements and protests against those who threaten the lower class wellbeing, that somehow they as a group gathering for the greater interests can show that others do exist and this is their way of saying that we as a whole united can make a difference and that we as Americans have that right to voice our opinions. It happened in the 1960’s, with the Vietnam war, nonviolent protesting made known that many people of the united states were against the war. Just like what we were doing in the 60s is no different from now, when the “union leaders pull down salaries five times that of their superiors”(Hedges).
The whole idea of this paper is that from as far as we can remember, there have been policies, and recalls on those, ones specifically aimed at the wealth and earnings of our country’s wealthiest verses our country’s poverty stricken and everyday man. Movement such as the Occupy Wall Street movement “simply asking us as a whole to use our bodies and voices” (Hedges) a prime example is when protestors gathered on wall street to voice their views and fight back, on Friday, October 14th, 2011 to argue and fight during which “police officers tried to clean the crowd from the premises” (Hedges) leading to more people having the support to voice their disagreements. The citizens labeled lower class have equal right and are also the majority affected by the drastic slash on salaries, and earnings of the poor and working class citizens of America, these protest and movements all show that we as a people have the right and want to know what decisions are being made, and how they’re going to affect us as a nation while
