What main themes do we get out of the OWS movement. I see it as demonstrations against |
|
income inequality resulting in undue influence and power. What am I missing here?

3. Inequality of all kinds is the problem they address |
|
Some get more rights, pay less taxes, have more opportunities, contribute less and take more. Some can start an illegal war based on lies and we are told to 'turn the page and look the other way' and those criminals are not questioned, much less punished, then they want to beat people bloody for pitching a tent? That is inequality as well.

4. Yeah. There are so many kinds of inequality. I think human beings have an innate ability |
|
to suss out when something is continually unfair. And no amount of propaganda can hide it from people.
