The left wing nuts are out in force and as usual they demonstrate why they are unemployed or underemployed. They are incoherent and stupid. I have been watching interviews of these folks and if they were not potentially able to vote it would actually be comical. Some examples.

They are railing against Wall Street (even though I don't think they have a clue what Wall Street even is) and the lack of jobs. Yet a great many of them when asked if they would go to work for a big corporation recoiled in disgust and said "absolutely not!".

They are railing about the millionaires and billionaires not paying their fair share but when asked if they know how much of the federal tax burden is paid by the top 10% most either are too ignorant to even venture a guess or guess significantly below the actual number (which is 70% s GF and Archie don't have to look it up).

They rail about how the bottom half are being screwed but when asked how much in federal income taxes do the bottom 50% actually pay they either don't know or way overestimate their federal income tax burden (for GF and Archie it is essentially 0).

When asked specifically what they want the answers range from the inane and incomprehensible (um, well, like, we want to start over....we want a reset, like, um....ya know, a new way of doing things that's more fair to the poor...ya, know, like.....hey, can I bum a cigarette from you?") to the insane ("we want to replace capitalism with a system that treats everyone equally).

What we have here are a large number of losers and parasites that have failed in life and rather than looking introspectively and asking why they are losers they want to blame someone else. But things are going to change now as the SIEU union thugs and commie/anarchists have glommed onto this event. It is going to get violent just like in Seattle during the WTO.
