What #occupywallstreet really wants



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

The Web seems to be full of posts from liberals suggesting that #occupywallstreet is doing fine but needs to make 'concrete demands' if it is going to be successful and what they should demand is [insert blogger's pet project here].

This is of course exactly what happened with the Tea Party which began as a grassroots movement and was quickly captured by Fox News and the Jacobin faction of the GOP. Thus the Tea Party which began as a reaction to a cozy government bailout for the bankers was quickly turned into a movement that we are now told demands that no banker ever pay a penny more in tax.

According to OccupyWallSt.org the movement officially has no demands. But that is not quite true. They have in fact made one demand and it is a pretty simple one: That people listen to them.

Now wonder the GOP is scared of them.
