You represent far less than 1% of the population in reality but who really cares about facts? Not OWS apparently.

I can't believe I'm going to give this a response, but what the heck...

The 1% have been waging a war on people's wealth and liberty for too long and OWS stands against that. The corrupt corps corrupt the lawmakers and People lose, every time. Wall St is just part of the problem btw.

If you are a person, not waging the war on People, I'd say OWS may not speak for you and your particular gripes, but they stand up for you. What are you doing about it? The problems from corruption span the globe and the cause goes way beyond Wall Street.

Which is why the majority of poll respondents sympathize with OWS, right?

[-] 0 points by owschico (295) 13 years ago

sympathize and support are 2 totally concepts. I sympathize with the movement, but I do not support this movement. I sympathize with OWS, you have a right to be pissed off with the current state of affairs, but your anger is misdirected. So I will never support OWS. If you were calling for the Impeachment of Obama, an audit of the Federal Reserve, and exposing the censorship Ron Lawl then I would support this movement. People are not willing to SUPPORT this movement because less than 1% agree with what OWS is doing

If they sympathize with the movement, that means that the movement represents their feelings.

not at all, it means they sympathize. Now if the question was does the movement represent your feelings then you could say that. But the question was so you sympathize.

I misspoke, the correct wording was "represent". Apologies.

Just about right I'd say.

You are responsible for your life, asking the government to steal from your neighbor because you are not willing to do it yourself is cowardly.
