Occupy has avoided building up any political power, lots of great ideas but that's all. There may still be demonstrations, but the politicians know there is no reason to worry about their reelection because of OWS. The message is simply being co-opted and will go the way of most campaign promises.

The business of USA politics is MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

For anybody to think that you could influence WASH-DC without money is delusional at best.

Why do you think K-street exists?

Why does 25% of the GDP go to the AMA? Because the AMA takes wheel barrows of CASH everyday to the poly-tickians,

Until OWS does the same as the fat cats the OWS is shit,

In the USA MONEY talks, and BULLSHIT walks,...

Always been this way,

Easy to say "Take the money out of politics",

But that's like saying take the blood out the US system,... ain't ever going to happen, the whole world run's on this that is symbolic of GOLD.

The OWS is 100% bullshit, and BULLSHIT walks everytime and everyplace.

You would seem to be right, OWS has decided simply to sit back and preach rather then do. It's been done from nothing before, civil rights, anti-war movement, the environmental movement. Groups that attracted members all across the nation like the AARP, NRA, NOW, MADD all manage to deliver a message, attract members, get money and get an agenda supported by politicians.

We will be heard, and soon. Until then please be patient and have faith.

BTW: I have friends in Michigan. When I travel there, it's heartwrenching to see the economic devastation that's occured there. Did you get to see the Chrysler ad during half-time of the Super Bowl? VERY POWERFUL! VERY EMPOWERING!

Is it any surpirze that FauxSnooze would be "reporting' this? Locals everywhere are hoodwinked by propaganda. Nothing new. And utterly meaningless.
