Angry Union Honcho Demands Equal CEO Taxation

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka led thousands upon
thousands of protesters in a march down Wall Street this
afternoon at quitting time.

Calling for bankers and corporate CEO's to pay their fair
share of taxes, he made an angry speech and demanded that
Congress extend unemployment benefits, put 11 million people
back to work by taxing the corporations and banks that
benefied from the TARP bailout, and fund green energy
projects.

"Let's make our voices heard all the way down to the bull,"
he shouted into the microphones.

As the crowd moved out and began to march, it was apparent
that the number of people marching was massive.

The rally was organized by the National People's Action
Committee, a project of the AFL-CIO.
