There are a couple of facts about Occupy Wall Street, the 99%, that most would agree with. First, these are angry working class and professional people. Anger is the key word here. We feel we are getting screwed. Second, money in government has angered people in all walks of life against Wall Street, Democrats and Republicans. Third, specific issues have been avoided leaving people upset with gridlock in the whole system of government and business. Fourth, this is not anger against capitalism, it is anger toward all political labels for not making our Republic work any more. Fifth, the same people who messed up the economy in 2008 are still running the show now, and no one has gone to jail for the financial crisis. Where are the Republicans and Democrats - bought and paid for?
A lot of opinions are being thrown around, this utube is from Australian David Icke who is best known for his view that
banks place us in slavery with credit. I'll admit some of this is over my head, but the point is ideas like Icke's help define the anger of the OWS/99% movement. And if you stretch it, the Tea Party would be included too. If you are truly interested in what is going on review Icke's position and decide for yourself. I am not totally sold on Icke's point of view, but it did help me focus.
