I know there are many individual OWS movements around the country, but in general, do you believe that the OWS movement represents the grievances, complaints, & desires of the 99% of the USA?
Keep in mind, the 99% means those folks in the USA who make less than $379,000 a year.
It might represent much of the complaints, but it certainly doesn't with respect to course of action

The 99% thing is just a slogan, but of course the semantic spinsters in the media took it literally and started to use it against the movement.
I think the grievances are accurate, but their approach to dealing with them was sloppy. Hopefully the next wave is more organized, but I'm sure the government is already mobilizing to make it more difficult.
hell, the Occupy movement represents the beliefs of some of the 1%
Warren Buffet has told us that there is a class war going on and it is being lost by the 99%
Thus they are effectively powerless in reaching and representing the great majority.
"the movement has already changed the public debate in America.
Consider, for example, last week’s Congressional Budget Office report on widening disparities of income in America. It was hardly news – it’s already well known that the top 1 percent now gets 20 percent of the nation’s income, up from 9 percent in the late 1970s.
But it’s the first time such news made the front page of the nation’s major newspapers.
Why? Because for the first time in more than half a century, a broad cross-section of the American public is talking about the concentration of income, wealth, and political power at the top.
Score a big one for the Occupiers."

They haven't changed the public debate in America. Come on!!! Short-term: They received support and sympathy which is a testament to how great our country is, but at the rate their going, they will lose all support and give more credit to the tea party...
funny, as so far OWS's only course of action is to occupy parks and have tossing matches with the po-po.
Welcome back Thunder! Anywho, yeah they definitely represent the wellfare of the 99%. At least that is my 2 cents.
they mainly represent all that is wrong with america
I guess, in a sense. IE the corrupt politicians.
