Occupy Wall Street is viewed by much of the nation as a disorganized, disjointed movement that has no clear purpose. In a way they are. They are allowing anyone who has vocal cords enter their camps and complain about whatever the heck they want. I could go in there and scream about the price of puppies and they wouldn't care.
This is why they will not succeed, they need an organized front with very clear stated mission goals before they will be taken seriously. Until then they will continue to be viewed as a joke.

Corporations only have as much power over as you give them.
The ultimate capitalist scenario is that of Walmart. The founder, Sam Walton, is worth 90 billion. The bottom 40% of the income bracket are worth 95 billion collectively. The irony is that Walton made the majority of his money marketing to that same lower income bracket. This scenario and many others show that corporations only have as much power as people give them. If OW is protesting corporate greed, what they're really potesting is the power they have given to these corporations. Can you see the hypocrisy in this? In a sense they are protesting themselves. These corporations have run smooth operations and have gained power through people buying their goods or using their services. Why does OW hate successful people? I personally think that they're jealous.
