Rant & Roll

[No Rescue Rally] Are you mad as hell and not going to take it anymore? Then head to the Federal Building at 150 S. State on Friday, Oct. 3, from 5-6:30 p.m. and tell Congress and Wall Street just what you think of the Fail-Out plan.

Look for the folks from Utah Jobs With Justice who'll be there demanding that Congress:

• Make the guilty execs who profited from the mess pay for the clean-up
• Ensure capital infusions have binding public ownership requirements
• Restructure and rein in reckless private financial institutions
• Pass a real recovery plan, for Main Street as well as Wall Street, paid for with progressive taxation, that addresses the needs for good jobs, affordable housing, health care, pensions, infrastructure and green economy.

The only question is, will someone be listening? By 5 p.m. Friday, most fed workers are history. (Jerre Wroble)
