The problem (and at the same time the cool thing) with the Occupy Wall Street movement was that it was partially inspired by and modeled after the ultra-democratic ironically intellectual swilling chaos that is the hacktivist collective.
Now a lack of a strong centered power structure for an anonymous web organization of vigilantes and moral crusaders is fascinating, but for a real, legitimate MOVEMENT there is actual leadership required. And, well, we slacktivists don't really want to step up to that degree and risk going to jail or getting shot or firebombed or something that always happens to real activist leaders. Or, like, hunger strikes and stuff. Who would want to have to handle that?
And that lack of a driving center is what will topple the movement—all you guys need is a party. They told you to get jobs, so take theirs (in DC). That's the way.

Jesus wept
I was wondering where people were getting all of this from, but then I came across this newest version of the New Testament that is being circulated. Here are some of the highlights:
“And verily, a company that is incorporated from many parts shall be considered a person! And if the Job Creators, or JOB-WEHs, deign to allow the least of these, their brethren, into the kingdom of heaven, it will be to collect their trash.”
“A woman's body is a sacred and holy thing, and as such its health should be left to God and God only,” declared Jesus from atop his dinosaur steed as he fire-bombed a family planning center, “because it honestly grosses men out.”
“A man that lies with a man is an abomination; a man that lies with a boy is … forgivable,” said the Lord as he cast a stone at a homosexual. “Remember when Judas kissed me? Yuck!”
“He who tries to help the poor of his nation instead of letting them help themselves is an enemy to God, and must be stopped.”
“The poverty, suffering, and starvation of your brothers and sisters that are less fortunate than you is totally not your problem,” explained Jesus as he showed the moneylenders to their booth, “After all, they can always pray for more money.”
“Indeed!” agreed a moneylender with a wink, “We certainly 'preyed' to get ours!”
And, lo! they did laugh heartily.
“Nobama 2012.”
Jesus wept.
