Former President Clinton Expresses Sympathy With Occupy Movement, Recommends Dialogue With Lawmakers 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



In a recent interview with USA Today, former president Bill Clinton
offered some of his thoughts on the Occupy Wall Street movement. “They
have an amorphous set of resentments for which I sympathize,” Clinton
said, “I don't think Americans can continue this level of income
inequality." Clinton went on to suggest a change in the movement’s
strategy, however, arguing the encampment in New York City would benefit
from a discussion with political leaders such as New York Gov. Andrew
Cuomo or Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
