This is hilarious.

These protests are supposed to be the counter-tea party movement (at long last) that the leftists have dreamed about, but the only way they could finally pull them off is to be completely vague about their purpose.

No one seems to know.

The ambiguity is intentional.

The protesters are Marxists who are trying to jump start a popular movement by attracting disaffected and alienated angry people who are angry for a lot of different reasons.

If the the leaders are specific about their goals, nobody would show up and their movement will never get critical mass Very few Americans support the agenda of the protesters..

I especially enjoyed the woman who explained that she was there because people are poor and there are no jobs. When asked if she would accept a job from one of those evil bankers she said “ABSOLUTELY NOT!”

Another was the idiot who proudly proclaimed that it took less than 24 hours for him to get arrested.

Have you read their platform / list of demands?

$20/hr min wage, excusing all debt, etc.?

It's so ridiculous, I can't decide if it's laughable or scary. No connection to real-world economics.

After reading their list, it's a wonder they didn't choose to be vague, instead.
