We have a dysfunctional political system; an economic meltdown that is heading into it's fourth winter,  no coherent, American, vision for our childrens' future &  of course people are protesting on Wall Street - where else should they go?    The OWS protestors, whatever they look like, are like many other people in this country, entirely frustrated Americans.  They may not have a coherent plan, but name me one institution currently in power that does.
