People who are accusing OWS of being socialists and lazy bums looking for a hand out, simply refuse to see what they're really protesting.

It's not government run amock per se. It's corporations. OWS is protesting the massive corruption and fraud that the corporotacracy has perpetrated. The government we have now is completely enslaved to the corporotacracy, it doesn't matter if they're Democrat or Republican. That is the issue here. The corporotacracy is poisoning the planet, enslaving the population, stealing our heritage and our wealth, degrading our rights, all for their profit. That's what needs to stop. That's what OWS is about. That's what the original Tea Party was about, as far as I could see, before it got co-opted by corporate whores (ie politicians).

I'm all for OWS from the grassroots, and I'm watching out for the attempt by TPTB to co-opt it sneakily by spewing the rhetoric it thinks you want to hear, whether you consider yourself left-wing or right-wing. If you're right-wing, they want you to buy into the idea that OWS is a bunch of lazy hippies who can't bother to get a job. If you're left-wing, they want to inflate their artificially induced left-wing celebrities to trumpet the propaganda. Don't buy into it either way. The Democrats AND the Republicans are all guilty. They are all corporate whores. Don't buy into their propaganda.
