Bookworm may have the answer:
The genesis of Occupy Wall Street distilled to two words: student loans
Just as the Vietnam war protests had nothing to do with actual principles, and everything to do with a spoiled generation’s fear of the draft; so too do today’s protests in America’s financial centers have nothing to do with concerns about America’s economy, and everything to do with deadbeat kids who willingly took on an unreasonable amount of debt, and are now facing the financial consequences for their cupidity and stupidity.
Plus, it also feeds into a government-dependent, class-warfare mentality.
