well, OWS is a protest against finance, not a protest against rich people.

Michael Moore doesn't work in finance, so I don't see where this is a problem.

Many are complaining about wanting the Bush tax cuts revoked and not just for finance companies. Some want socialism. Some even admit on CD in the Reagan thread that they need to eliminate capitalism and return to socialism. Some even believe that North Koreans at least earn a fair livable wage and they've achieved equality.

Some probably wipe their ass with the palm of their hand. That doesn't mean that's what the protest is about.

OK, let me know when you have a statistical breakdown from an objective article on philosophical beliefs. Thanks

You and Michael Moore need to get over your stereotypes of Republicans. I know lot's of Reps who care for the poor and hate the crony capitalism that is in place today.

And I'm sure many of the OWS guys are Reps.

Moore is a blowhard hypocrite and I don't care what he has to say.

I'd love to see the breakdown, if you have one.

Do you have one?
