Occupy Wall Street

Charlie Gasparino (Fox Business Channel) visited the OWS headquarters over the weekend:


The standard portrayal of the Wall Street protesters goes something like this: Ragtag group of unemployed young adults, venting often incoherent but overall legitimate populist outrage about economic inequality. But go down to the movement’s headquarters, as I did this past weekend, and you see something far different.

It’s not just that knowledge of their “oppressors” -- the evil bankers -- is pretty thin, or that many of them are clearly college kids with nothing better to do than embrace the radical chic of “a cause.” I found a unifying and increasingly coherent ideology emerging among the protesters, which at its core has less to do with the evils of the banking business and more about the evils of capitalism -- and the need for a socialist revolution.

This movement is the antithesis of the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party wishes to restore the rule of law and preserve private property rights. OWS is a Marxist driven movement intent on destruction of this country's founding ideals.
