"A lot of people on Twitter are saying I totally agree with the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) demands and goals. The only problem is that I have no idea what their demands and goals are. And neither does anyone else. If all you ever do is stomp around, yell and hold up signs protesting a million different things, sure you'll get some attention, but over time, you'll just look foolish. You end up coming across like a three-year-old having a temper tantrum.

This is what's happening to the OWS movement. They're being discredited because no one has stepped forward and really stated what it is they're after. The whole group is coming across like a bunch of jacked-up, jobless, wannabe hippies. That's not going to change anything in this country. You've got to state your goals clearly if you want to accomplish something."

Yeah, spot on. The article continues with 4 goals worth mentioning.

Thanks for sharing this amanda6035.

I really enjoyed the last two goals that Dave mentioned, the "Wall Street is Evil" and "Wealth Redistribution."

I'm not too sure what the Occupy movement is all about (especially here in Milwaukee where it now is happening). What I think it is all about is that the 99% wants some share of what the 1% has. Is that it? I feel ignorant, or confused, or I really don't know what to think. Too much is going into this.
