Is OWS merely conduit for a few activists to found a so called movement that depends on donor dollars so that they can create a career for themselves. I only ask. please do not bitch me out I only asked a question.

What leads you to believe that?

nothing except that OWS has such a resemblance to an internet startup. A few people have a business plan, they get som seed money (donations in this case) they get "interns" to do the initial work for free (the protestors) and then when they grow they hire "professionals". I saw it a dozen times during the last 90's.

The movement is about ending the corruption on Wall Street, which has cause (I believe intentionally) the economic crisis. What the people need to realize is that the root of the problem is the Private central bank known as the Federal Reserve, which funds Wall Street.

I wouldnt say that is what the movement is about.
