(2,770 posts)you are right.
No one knew about the disparity between the uber wealthy and the rest of us before OWS pointed it out. How could we have been so dumb?
No one was ever aware, no less suspicious, of political donations from Big Business to politicians, or political parties, before OWS.
No one ever realized that money influenced the political process before Occupy came along and schooled them.
"I know you have always been opposed to OWS, but they are no only not going anywhere they are growing across the Globe and are really the only hope of stopping Wall Street influence on our lives and elections and for a movement still in its infancy, have had more success than any other entity so far in shining a light on the issues most important to PEOPLE."
Now let me school you, sabrina. I have never been 'opposed' to OWS. I have just found them to be irrelevant and ineffective. There IS a difference.
You keep insisting that OWS is a growing movement - despite the fact that the numbers show otherwise. Oh - and on that topic - claiming that every pro-liberal, pro-progressive, pro-democracy movement around the world is "part of Occupy" doesn't make it so.
