You see calls for direct Democracy today, because increasing numbers of people are feeling that Representatives are being bought by lobbyist money and their views are not heard, and one where the only way to have an effective voice is to have lots of money.
As far as saying the "central theme" of Occupy is elimination of rights of the 1% that is very simplistic. It is "We are the 99%" meaning there is a feeling the 99% is getting the short end of the stick, and the system is rigged against everyone but those in the 1%.
In this is the issue where a system bails out the 1% that took too many risks, because it is said if they didn't, everyone would be worse off as a result of it.
Again, go back to the comment, "The United States is NOT a Democracy, but a Republic" and that is either incorrect, or dangerous if it is. It would be better to say that America is a Representative democracy rather than a direct one.
