From what I've seen, the message of a great number of these protestors is "Corporations are using government power to screw over the little guy, so let's give government more power to stop them!" The lack of any deduction skills on how that idea will pan out is amazing.
If they were at any way consistent with their goals, they'd be protesting outside the Fed and the White House. Instead, they are essentially trying to bring down a statue by attacking its shadow.
I'm actually going to attend the Occupy Orlando event tomorrow. Will find out firsthand what they're all about.
