I've yet to see one person who criticizes the OWS come up with any solution to solve this countries problems.
Vote for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is the only candidate that is anti-war and anti-bailout.
Virtually all mainstream Democrats & Republicans supported the Wall Street bailout.
Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Bush, Cheney, McCain, Palin, Mitt Romney, etc ALL supported the Wall Street bailouts.
Politicians have zero incentive to change their behavior, if they can vote for corporate bailouts, and people will still vote for them.
Anyone who votes for a pro-bailout politician is just encouraging more bailouts.
OWS and Tea Partiers both claim they're against Wall Street bailouts. But if they end up voting for a pro-bailout politician like Obama or Romney, then they're just hypocrites with no direction.

i dont think the tea party has any intention of voting for romney unless he ends up being the candidate. right now i think their vote is being split between cain, gingrich, and ron paul.

how about cut, cap and balance amendment to the us constitution? how about a bunch of bills that have passed the house to help with the economy but go nowhere in the democratic senate? you think your point is clever but it is nowhere near reality.
How do you know there is a sizable fraction? Everyone I've met has been pro-peaceful demonstration. Look at OWS as well as the other Occupied cities: violence erupts when it is INITIATED by the police. They have yet to actually prevent violence.
Right. Everyone you met is peaceful, therefore the thousands upon thousands of people must be peaceful as well. I won't argue with such sound logic. If the police weren't there, the protesters would just engage their brothers working on Wall Street in thoughtful discussion and discuss what can be done to solve all our problems. No verbal/physical altercations of any kind would take place. My mistake.

Maybe defining clear and achievable goals that will help alleviate the income gap between rich and poor as well as increasing regulation that would prevent future financial collapses? Or possibly recruiting smart capable people within your movement to run for office and have the mass amount of people campaign?
Or you could just continue to disrupt NYC with a vague and uncertain list of demands endlessly with creative signs and catchphrases.

I doubt that many in the OWS movement have any thought of voting for Obama other than he is the slightly lesser of the mass of evil, vapid, stupid candidates. I know that I have been a lifelong Democrat but would not vote for Obama, or any of the GOP goofy candidates. All are right wing capitalist tools working towards making the 1% into the .001% controlling everything. That is called dictatorship...you get to vote occasionally but you might as well stay home and watch the BIG BANG THEORY!
Do you really think that OWS people would spend all that uncomfortable effort if they supported the President and his party? Wouldn't they instead be campaigning for the re-election of GOOFUS?
The OWS wants the SYSTEM replaced, not just an incompetent right wing president (with a more incompetent, more right wing president!)
Obama's kissing corporate asses for the $BILLION he needs for reelection does not endear him to those bemoaning the gross skewing of the nation's wealth.
The only people in OWS supporting Obama are the black ones.
i bet sobro is a fan of che guevara, someone who thought it was ok to murder people if they stood in the way of his communist revolution."
And what's wrong with YOU, Captain, to be casting aspersions on others? When you cannot counter an idea with a plausible argument, you try to slander someone's good name? A real low thing to do, in my book. Shame on you.
And by revamping the welfare program you mean the CORPORATE welfare program, which makes the people's welfare programs looks like jelly beans in comparison. This is why OWS exists, because everyone is focused on the wrong thing....their work is nowhere near done.
As soon as we get the CORPORATE recipient off welfare, then we can talk about the people. Socialism is alive and well and thriving in Corporate America...yet nobody talks about that. OWS does.
Yes. They would pit us against each other, have us fighting one another, while they whittle away at middle class wealth and lower our lifestyle, little by little. We have to recognize who the real enemy is here. Who's gaining and who's losing in this economy?
