The only thing I would disagree with is that the "conservative movement" part. Classic conservatives like Barry Goldwater or William Buckley would have supported OWS, but today's "mainstream" conservatives are more likely to back corporatism.

OWS is an anti-corporatism movement, and it is a position that many liberals and conservatives can get behind.

This really is everybody's movement. Wall Street, in principle, ought to be in agreement with OWS (and I think it is). When the board votes obscene salaries to the officers it robs that company of R & D capital and increases the price of the product. We live in a highly competitive global marketplace. Corporate profits simply cannot be gutted by either the CEO or unrealistic demands of labor. Both mistakes serve to drive the consumer toward cheaper products.

Unfortunately, the message is muddled by some who wish to co-opt these demonstrations for their own ends, thereby turning off many who would gladly stand for the core.

This is the clearest thinking I've seen on OWS to date. Great stuff.
