(62,325 posts)Help people. That is NOT what Wall Street does. In Zuccotti Park they demonstrated what they meant by 'We Are Unstoppable Another World is Possible' when they welcomed the homeless, provided them with food and shelter and arranged for medical care and counselling for those who needed it. It was awesome, people actually living by what they claim to be.
They have continued to use their skills to take care of the people who have been victims of Wall Street and Predatory Capitalism by fighting the Banks, forcing them to negotiate with homeowners rather than foreclose on them. That has been a huge success.
Mobilizing and not profiting from, tens of thousands of people to help the victims of Sandy is exactly in line with their original goals. Contrary to the Predatory Capitalists who tried to take advantage of the Storm and charge people $700 for a motel room for one night. They are DEMONSTRATING their goals by putting into practice how we can be a better world, that not everything is about profit.
And eliminating student debt was ALWAYS a goal. So for months they have been working on a way to demonstrate how it can be done without the need to profit from it.
Everything they have been doing over the past year up to and including their current activities, is fully in line with their original goals.
Amazing after all the information I have provided you with you still don't get it.
