Questions on Occupy Wall Street movement?

[James]

Hi there,
There are a few things about the Occupy Movement I don't understand, and would greatly appreciate some help clarifying.

1. Is the movement targeting more so the financial industry and sector, in terms of the corporate influence on politics, or does this also include non-bank companies like google, apple, chevron, etc.?

2. Does the movement hope to diminish the top 1% of the American economy in terms of their net worth, or is the goal more to decrease the amount of poor, poverty citizens and greatly increase the middle class population. An example is, if somehow the average US Household income could go up to $85,000, from the $50,000 it is now, yet there were still a plentiful amount of billionaires and people with hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, would the movement be ok with this?

The movement is largely a bunch of whiny hypocrites sitting in parks and whining about the 1% while wearing their designer jeans, name brand shoes, publishing their awesomeness on the various social media from their expensive electronic gadgets.

They don't know what they want to achieve. They only know that they're not achieving it. They're envious that people who have worked harder than they have worked have achieved success, and feel that those people OWE the 99%. They believe that, as if by magic, someone is going to empower their lazy butts and hand them 6-figure jobs that require no marketable skills and leave lots of time for fiddling with their electronic devices.

Some small percentage of the OWS movement are professional malcontents who go from protest to protest. Those people are in it not for the cause, but for the act of protesting itself.
