Some observations...

1) It is a mistake to imagine that these unwashed, communist youth will vanish when the protest is over. They will remember this event for the rest of their lives. They will vote. Teach. Be elected to government, etc..

2) The fact that it has gone on as long as it has is reason for concern.

3) This is as much a failure of Conservatism as anything. Republicans have failed to take the bull by the horns and fix our education system.. This has gone on for so long, we now have generation upon generation we are attempting to re-educate before they enter the voting booth.. By permitting this to continue, we are attempting to re-train the youth in a few short years, and undo all the brain washing they have endured from the moment they entered the educational system, till the moment they leave it as adults. This has been left to fester so long that Rasmussen had a poll recently showing that, among the youth, a third thought capitalism was the best system, a third socialism.. and a third weren't sure. This bodes terribly for our future, and it must be corrected.

4) And this is important.. The unfolding failure is primarily political.. The protesters don't know hat they want, they just know they are angry. They have no workable plan to resolve their grievances... Frankly, I doubt many of them can even tell you why they are so pissed at Wall Street if you asked them.. But I can.

I believe strongly that this discontent stems from the TARP bailouts.. And it's not so much the bailouts themselves, as the bi-partisan stampede to assist the banks while the rest of the economy burns to the ground. In that moment it became obvious who our government serves and who it works hardest for. There was no partisan bickering. There was just an immediate surge of support for Wall Street.. to give them whatever they needed, and to do it right now. And that is why they're so angry at the Street itself. And I can't honestly say that I entirely blame them for feeling that way. It's exactly how I felt watching bailout mania take place.

In other words, they have the exact same motivations as the Tea Party, but they are not smart enough to know why.
