Occupy Wall Street is a movement that is spreading fast in cities. It has started recently but it is already struggling to maintain its focus and identity. The future of Occupy Wall Street as a political force may well depend on how well it conveys its message and mission. The group says they cannot wait any longer and let corporate greed and corrupt politics run the nation. The group calls themselves "The 99%." This means that 40% of the nations wealth is in the hands of the richest 1% of the population.
1. It can get confused about what it really stands for and may change without meaning too.
2. OWS means they are the 99% of Americans. The 1% of Americans are wealthy and hold 40% of the nation's wealth. The 99% is every other American and is not wealthy.
3. Protest
4. They are taking the media's attention from the major parties
5. OWS is upset because they do not want him to run because they feel he has done nothing and should be kicked out of office
6. They would like to see change in the economy, corporate corruption of our political system, and the negative effects of corporate personhood
7. I think it has they potential to flourish and make change but only if it can get its bearings straight.
