Steve, nobody seems to sure what the OWS wants. But there is one thing that everyone agrees on is that the OWS does not want political power. It would be foolish for them to want that when they cannot organize themselves for the protest in the first place.

Having said that, their movement, whatever means to different people also means one thing in common to all and that their dissatisfaction with Washington's ways. Look at Darrell Issa. That guy has nothing better to do but investigate issues after issue since he smells a rat at all times. He got the boot from California when he organized the movement to recall the Democratic Guv/. And then he was expecting to be offered the position and the Republican party didn't give it to him. And now this man is heading the investigations in DC as a by virtue of his elected status.

The average age of the OWS folks are mid 30's. They are being told that there will be no SS and Medicare for them. But instead we would be having money to fight foreign wars. So their anger and frustration at such a logic is understandable. What I like about then is that they are not politicized, the same reason that I am opposed to labor unions and the Tea Party.
