I think the "Occupy" campaign has a decent idea behind it. There is a ruling elite in America and the majority have been treated as disposable for a while. The degree of greed though, until recently, had been manageable. There was enough going around for everybody to pick a job, work 40 years, live, save a little, retire, and die satisfied. However, with cost-reducing (profit increasing) outsourcing and things of that sort, the American working class has been pushed to the brink of extinction. Not because they're no longer around, but because they can no longer work. Unfortunately, they've been so easily taken advantage of for so long that the ruling elite will surely find some sort of seemingly beneficial move to shut this movement up and allow them to find another comfortable spot in mediocrity, and we'll never hear of it again.
