The problem with the OWS is that it has exactly the government it wants. Obama is very much a globalist, doing all he can to have the American workers displaced with much cheaper workers.
But they didn't show up in sizable numbers to vote in the recent midterm elections. This is why so many tea partiers got elected and are now causing uncompromising gridlock in Washington. Had they showed up to vote in the midterms they probably wouldn't even be having these protest now.

Low turnout by young voters hurts Democrats in midterm elections

Why Didn't OWS Protestors Vote?

Because they hadn't learned to read yet....

If they can get their student loans forgiven I don't think they'd care who was President.

The sad truth is Wall Street keeps churning there puppets out and the duped masses fall in line and vote for them. Look at the leading contenders for the {R} nomination Romney/Perry who have both been blessed with lots of Wall St. money. And Obama has received almost twice the amount of any other candidate.

The protest should have started in 08 but a funny thing took place at the polls, the leaders who voted for the bankster bail a wide majority of them kept their seats. I kept track and 11 of 19 {R}s that voted no and were up for re election lost their seats. Including one of my boys Virgil Goode who was a good conservative and a lunch buddy of Paul.

I think it would be safe to say that a majority of this forum and the OWS protesters voted for Mc Cain/Obama who were the biggest pushers of the bail out. The electorate is like a abused wife that never reports her husband, and guess what he never stops beating her. Same with Wall St. they get behind the leaders that they want in and the people comply.

There should be a massive protest against the voters that carries out Wall St wishes, OPPPS never mind that protest would be against 98% of the population

They'll even volunteer to be DHS informants, as they'll be gullible enough to believe the intended targets are entirely made up of "evil conservatives", and that they're doing their country a valuable service.

Useful idiots.
