Songwronger,
You need to listen to them - its no secret.
the OWS keeps repeating itself again and again.
The 1% who have all the wealth and power.
That is called feudalism - in this case corporate feudalism.
Democracy has always been about taking power out of the hands of the 1% and sharing it with the other 99%.
This is the same thing.
The 1% has somehow managed to get all the power back and the 99% are saying - hold on time to do a democracy reset.
It isn't about us and them, that is just taking language from other unrelated issues (nationalism, race, gender etc) and misapplying it.
This is 100% about simple straight forward democracy.
