And I see we are getting closer to getting some goals...

I found this on occupywallst.org just now....
  • Widespread deregulation that has eliminated common sense regulations that have insured long term prosperity and protection from predatory business practices
  • A Tax code that is cumbersome and rife with loopholes and language that favors an economic minority at the expense of the majority of wage earners
  • A Supreme Court decision that has put into place the unprecedented concept of extending first amendment protections to political donations
  • Jeopardizing the future of social security through investiture and privatization schemes
  • By reducing funding to our education system our future generations are provided a lesser education that previous generations received because of increased class size and reduced resources
  • Because of decreasing funding individuals are saddled with higher student loan debt
  • A political system where even the most perfunctory tasks of government are partisan battles

I can get behind all of this. But they need to clean it up, slim it down. Instead of calling this "Occupy Wall Street" they need to call this "The Workers Right Movement". Then instead of bitching about Wall Street they need to target the root of the problem - Which isn't Wall Street at all, it's Washington.
