It is typical for those in power to demonize those who threaten them by trying to tie the opponent to some awful, evil movement in the past. The OWS movement has much more to do with a humanistic application of capitalism than it does with your former boss. To ignore, as your article does, the fact that “Wall Street” effectively runs our country and has gained and maintains power through corrupt political machinations is to pretend that the US remains the sort of haven of freedom and opportunity you’d like it to be.
The vast and growing disparity between the have-muches and the have-littles in this country is corrosive and divisive and cannot continue. The OWS protesters recognize that. The fact that groups you vehemently disagree with are now riding on OWS’s coattails confirms the power of the OWS movement; but it does not mean that OWS has adopted every tenet of every group that is now hitching a free ride on the OWS publicity wave.
