The movement that began in Zuccotti Park didn't disappearit just splintered and regrouped around a variety of focused causes.
On her first campaign stop in Iowa in April, Hillary Clinton struck a decisively populist tone, declaring that the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. Later, she sharpened her rhetoric on income inequality by comparing the salaries of Americas richest hedge fund managers with kindergarten teachers.
Clinton isnt alone. Democratic presidential challenger Bernie Sanders has spent the spring railing against the excesses of Wall Street greed while calling for a financial transactions tax and a breakup of the big banks. Even leading Republican contenders have jumped on the inequality bandwagon: Jeb Bush, through his Right to Rise PAC, asserted that the income gap is real, while Ted Cruz admitted that the top 1 percent earn a higher share of our income nationally than any year since 1928, and Marco Rubio proposed reversing inequality by turning the earned-income tax credit into a subsidy for low-wage earners....

I think a few of them landed here and are spouting Liz Warren talking points about Cruz like brain damaged sheep.
The (bowel) movement(s) that began in Zuccotti Park didnt disappearComing to police cruisers in a city or town near you, is that what Occupy Levitin is threatening?
My nephew used to throw eggs at them in Manhattan. He was a starting offensive lineman in college so no worries about him getting attacked.
but he’s a genius in law school and I told him I’d kill him if he got in trouble because of these idiots.
in about 10 years, I’m hoping for a low interest loan from him :)
Correction:
the deck is still stacked in favor of those like me at the top and I plan to keep it that way, you dolts.
The astroturf movement failed, clowns. It developed into outright drunkenness, rape, and vandalism in mere weeks. It imploded even faster than most examples of its ilk.

Lol...
Why not aspire to be a 1 per-center, instead? This generation is ass backwards.
My best friend (who is black) and I had a blast mocking these morons during their “Occupy Fremont Street” march in Las Vegas.
I especially liked (and still have the picture of) the idiot carrying a “Down With Capitalism!” sign, wearing Nike’s and Deisel Jeans, while posting his Selfies on Facebook on his iPhone.
It was especially Hilarious when my friend began mocking their chants, by finishing them with “... Get a Job!”
They didn’t know what to do about a black guy mocking them, and the couple of panthers that walked up trying to intimidate us left... shall we say... intimidated.
I see, the TEA party is an astroturf extreme right wing movement, but the criminal anarchists of Occupy are grass roots populists worth embracing and echoing.

Sha Na Ha opened and closed their landmark set at Woodstock with ‘Get A Job’ before tens of thousands of hippies (estimates are that only 40,000 remained by the time Hendrix went on).

The (bowel) movement(s) that began in Zuccotti Park didnt disappear and it still smells bad.
Is she crackin' on Chelsea?
Didn’t some report come out a while ago showing most OWs idiots were from well off families? Who else had the money to waste camping out on city streets for weeks for a stupid protest? Rich kids and your typical general leftist losers (who were probably give dough from Soros’s treasure chest) made up the bulk of OWS loons.
