The Occupy Wall Street folks may have a sound basic concept (growing income inequality) but the lack of a coherent message makes the movement look like a scruffy bunch of Howard Beales. Here's an idea; occupy a couple of other pieces of real estate before trying to take on Wall Street.
Step One, Occupy Madison Avenue.
Retain some Don Draper to help focus your message. Just drumming won't get you far. Even someone as off putting as Newt Gingrich has a point about OWS.
Step Two, Occupy Washington.
Once the movement has an actual message, take it to Washington. It should be easy to enlist recruits to rail against an inept Congress With favorable ratings below 10% Washington would seem an easier target. And Congress is the entity that could actually effect change on Wall Street, at least theoretically.
Tahrir Square is protest. Zuccotti Park is a mess.
