I think they're talking more about the power that the money brings. That power (political power, etc.) shouldn't be dependent on how much money you have, or don't have. We each have one vote, but the real power belongs to that 1% because they buy the power by buying our politicians.
That's what I'm gleaning from what I'm reading as the root of this grass (haha). The other things are side effects of that initial problem. But, I'm not entirely sure I'm right in my interpretation either.
FWIW, Detroit's mayor has pretty much said they have no intention of trying to stop them. It's as close to an endorsement as I've seen in the movement.
