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!"

 Only the ignorant don't know what the 99% are protesting.  Here are what occupiers are standing for.

End Corporate personhood

Re-instate Glass Steagal.

End bush or even Reagan Tax cuts.

Rebuild Infrastructure - Thats why they march ont he bridges that are sh-t.

Put a steed tax on high frequency trading to stop algorithm programs that cheat on wall st. 

END Free trade - Specially if the country has human rights or workers rights abuse. You can't compete with workers that get beat or raped to bring up productivity.

Re-instate the anti sherman act. Which reagan did away with and that would have stopped the banks from being to big.

Here this video should tell you what is been pushed by them and easy to understand since you don't get what they want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wK1MOMKZ8BI
