Disclaimer: I'm in no way some sort of a libertarian or anyone who supports aggressive capitalism, nor complete free capital, and etc. and etc.
However, I think that things need to be thought out with a bit more common sense. People tend to actually demonize the wallstreet guys, however, they're not at fault if the system is faulty. Admit it, you'd love to be rich. And since not everyone can be rich, someone has to be less rich than the other one.
I've made it my task to analyze some of the demands made by wall street occupants(here), and how they qualify to be a demand that can be realized(by the wall street corporations).
The corporates or whomever are stationed in wall street are not really the one to end wealth inequality.
Besides, what exactly is "wealth inequality"?
Do you mean like, if someone is born as the son of Bill Gates, and someone is born as the son of some plumber, they both ought to have the same amount of wealth?
In each case, the place you should occupy is the white house, not wall street.
So what do you propose? The current American system allow the government not to open any state owned factories or places where they can employ people. So you have to turn to the private corporations to work, the ones that you protest.

Quote:Ending corporate censorship is our one demand.This goes hand to hand with ending corruption. If the government and it's agencies are unwilling to end it, it won't.
Quote:Ending political corruption is our one demand.Politics is all about corruption. Simply do not vote.
Quote:Ending joblessness is our one demand.This is hard....The service sector is absorbing people ever since automation hit the scene, and whatever that isn't done by machines, is done by manual labour in china.

Quote:Ending poverty is our one demand.Worldwide, or countrywide?
Quote:Ending health-profiteering is our one demand.For that, you need to change the whole healthcare system of the USA, and regulate taxes according to it.
Quote:Ending American imperialism is our one demand.Well, that surely would be nice. However, even the common folk in the USA reaps the fruits of American imperialism abroad.
