The main goal of this movement therefore is:
DO NOT GO HOME.
Make occupation your life. Yes go to work, raise your family, but visit sites of occupation like you would go to the store. Or hang out with friends.
Change must be a way of life. Not an event.
It's Time to GET MONEY OUT of politics:

We dont want these dirty tea baggers supporting us. They want stuff like lower taxes, less government and we want more government, higher taxes (as long as its not for us), and wealth redistribution
That is not the solution. Thats how we got into this mess. That type of rhetoric is what scares me away from this movement. Not all rich people are corrupt. Arrest the corrupt ones, and protect the good ones. And yes, arrest the poor corrupt people too.
Why do you want more govt? When you limit the federal govt, you can take action for change on the state and local level to provide what is best for those living in those localities -you can even have big govt there, and itll cost you to have it. There is no reason why someone in NY should pay for the problems in Cali, when both have their own issues to deal with. Nothing is stopping people from donating, but forcing people to do so, even if its with good intentions, is still the use of govt to inflict force.
How does getting a license and permits to start a biz make it easier to start one? I only want govt to prosecute those who commit fraud and break the law (and war issues), not to tell me what to do. I dont want them to tax me because people cant take care of themselves. Instead I want them to protect a level playing field where people have the opportunity to take care of themselves (start a biz, eat what they want, protect themselves). I want to have a say in where my taxes go, not to have federal govt tell me where I should be spending my money -just because a few people think they know whats best for everyone.
Everyone knows whats best for themselves. I know whats good for me, you know whats good for you, I shouldnt be in a position to impose my views on you, and vice versa. We should be in positions to make our own decisions for ourselves, thats freedom. And if you screw up and make a bad decision, thats your fault, not mine, and I shouldnt have to pay for your mistakes.

I couldn't agree more! we need to find common ground! http://teaoccupyunited.com/

You have to include some of them at some point or you aren't including the 99 percent ?

Ron Paul planted the grass for the Tea Party and on Nov. 5th when he raised 6,000,000 on that day the Tea Party was formed. Now it has lost its identity and way. Just as this movement will and as it is now by Union Leaders and Obama.
BUT if theres one thing we ALL should be agreeing with is, ending too big to fail, political finiancing, and ending the FED -but a lot in OWS dont even want to look into or be informed about the FED.
I agree, which is why Im getting away from this Occupy movement. Anyone i try to wake up to the facts here always call me a crazy libertarian, instead of defending their own position, because there is no basis behind their reasoning.
