Corporate raider supports OWS protests

Teamsters Occupying Wall Street last week.

Wow. We were just watching Asher Edelman, a famed corporate raider, on CNBC explaining why he supports the protests.

Edelman is supposedly the guy Gordon Gekko was based on -- you know, the the Michael Douglas character in "Wall Street" who says "Greed is good."

Here's why he supports the protests: 

I have always been someone who has an interest in the people. ...I have always cared for the people, and it matters, and they've been ripped off.
