Occupy Wall Street Summary

   While the Occupy Wall Street has lost energy in the last couple of months, the movement has become known and everyone is waiting for its reemergence.  Using an analogy, the author compares the movement to reality TV. The author describes the people supporting the movement as the 99% disadvantage battling the 1% elite seen as evil becoming a show of good vs. evil.  The movement’s purpose is to represent the disadvantage on Wall Street where only the elite can advance. Although anyone can hold stock only the rich can have enough stock to be included in corporation decisions showing that public cannot compete with the private. The author suggests that with the reemergence of the occupy movement there will be new demands from the 99%. The movement has become a real issue that should not be ignored in this active political year.
