And yes, that's what, IMO, gives them a 0% chance of success. I do believe that a lot of government reform is needed, but this isn't the way to do it IMO.
That's not necessarily true. In pretty much all cases, the groups do form around a complete socialist remodeling of the American society. The "specifics" of how it is done, or what is given, will vary.

"Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition."
-Thomas Jefferson

The only good thing I can say about the delusional fools at these occupy events is that they see and understand that our government has become entirely too corrupt to be worthy of governing. The flaw in their argument is that their remedy for the fact is empowering said government to do more than it should. I say, if you want the U.S.A to be a clone of Europe.....then move to Europe, and enjoy your stay.
