Occupy Wall Street has come to Pella. Jim Stumo was around the square downtown Wednesday, protesting what he calls a broken system.

Stumo told KNIA/KRLS News he’s been watching the growing economic inequality in America for most of his adult life and sees the current time as similar to the time of Robber Barons in the late 19th century.

“Vanderbuilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie, these were not nice people”, Stumo said. “Why are the people on top trying to emulate them?”
