Should Occupy building new roads and infrastructure and voluntarily work for free instead of standing in a park for months on end complaining about bad roads and crumbling infrastructure and I could get behind a movement like that because it is productive and benefits the whole country.

I know a protester who offered his carpentry skills for free. Offered repairs and things like that. Know of others that fixed up houses and fed the homeless. Things like that.
They do a lot of that type of stuff but don't get the media attention for it. The media would rather paint them as Black Bloc anarchist or lazy hipsters. Not people who are informed and some active in the community.

Bought a new car,...so helped make a dealership and a salesman money, and the monthly service allows service personnel to both keep the job and hire more.
Bought fuel for two vehicles all year long helping the refineries, truck drivers, and service station personnel keep their jobs. The state taxes on said fuel allowed people jobs to maintain the state's infrastructure.
Spent thousands with many retail stores, furniture stores, grocery stores, restaurants, big box stores helping people either keep their jobs or allowing more to be hired.
Paid a ton of property taxes allowing state and local workers to maintain their postions in the state government and local school districts or hire more as needed.
Just "spreading the wealth" like you Occupiers insist is good for the economy.
" Occupy Wall Street has tossed aside its encampments and bullhorns and donned its legal garb and pro hac vices. Occupy Wall Street’s brain trust, Occupy the SEC, just filed a Federal lawsuit that encapsulates the crony capitalist state that passes today for democracy."
