It's generally hard to have an impact when your movement is generally devoid of a point or solutions.

I wouldn't say it's falling on deaf ears. People are saying "I'm angry".

However, that's about all there saying.

That's why over 60% of the country is now against occupy Wall street.

If they actually focused on real issues and the real problem, they'd have more support.

Like say... "If the banks were too big to fail, why didn't the government, as a precondition for loaning banks money, require in that accepting that money, they would then be split up into smaller banks that wouldn't be too big to fail."

Instead the whole movement seems to be  characterized as "Booooo!  Rich people suck!"

What percentage of people don't think there is a problem with how income distribution is happening in the country, or have concerns that the American dreram is loss?  Do you think a majority of people find it acceptable?  Beyond that, do a majority of people don't think there isn't corruption in Wall Street?

Like this poll: 6 in 10 want Washington to do something about the income inequality to address it:

And Wall Street itself (and Washington) aren't polling favorably either:

The movement had gotten stale in what it was doing.  The issue shifted from the economic issues to the right to camp out in public parks.  Camping out in public parks isn't what people care about.

There's more then one way to address income inequality... and plenty of people who'd like to see things changed to decrease it who think OWS is well... stupid.

Like for example people who want to privitise schools so schooling can get better.   The government could do a lot to address income disparity by getting out of the way.
