What does the occupy Wall Street movement want?

Asked by philosopher (9065points) October 17th, 2011

I agree that there is a Minority in this country that clearly has an Elitist attitude. Most of them have No sense of morality. They think they are owned a life of privilege. At the expense of all other American’s. They have wealth because they were born into wealth and attended the right schools. A smaller Minority earned it by working hard.
I am angry about the bail out and the excessive Bonuses.
I fear that some people in the movement want violence, some support Communist, terrorist and Anarchy. This could all be resolved if, the extremist Right comprehended true compromise. I love America and Democracy.
What we need is to secure the Middle Class and to give working people a fair wage. America should support our true allies and not those that placate Terrorist or Fascist.
I am an Independent and the real problem is we have No real Leadership.
I have been reading comments on bigthink.com, other sites and watching the news. I live in NYC.
Can this movement get the Politicians to recognize them?
I think they can not accomplish much without better leadership. What do you all think?
I wish they could force real change without violence but these Politicians seem to think we ll fall in line forever. History indicates that when people get angry Protest increase. The Hay Market Riots happen because workers became angry. Unions helped create a Middle Class.
What if anything can these Protests accomplish?
