Dear Dave:
You are just not doing your research and in this case you are just dead wrong. The demands and goals of the OWS movement are well known to some if not most of us and are easily found with just a little searching. You need to do your homework before you start spouting such nonsense.
Take a look at The 99 Percent Declaration web page and you will see the plans and the demands and goals of the OWS movement. It's no secret. Google is your friend.
“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that IF the PETITION OF GRIEVANCES approved by the 870 Delegates of the NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY in consultation with the PEOPLE, is not acted upon within a reasonable time and to the satisfaction of the Delegates of the NATIONAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY, said Delegates shall organize a new INDEPENDENT POLITICAL PARTY to run candidates for every available Congressional seat in the mid-term election of 2014 and again in 2016 until all vestiges of the existing corrupt corporatocracy have been removed by the power of the ballot box.”
Go for it, Kids! And while you’re at it, you can solve ‘The Mystery of the Haunted Mansion’ with Shaggy and Scooby-Doo!
Actually, some of their points make sense to me *GASP* but overall they come off as a bunch of whiny grifters. And that’s got to be REALLY hard to accomplish when the MSM is ON YOUR SIDE!

In Dave's defense, I was recently chastised by a liberal neighbor of mine, when I pointed out these OWS "demands." At the time, she said these were a "work in progress," and that "no official demands existed," blah, blah, blah.
So I've seen a lot of fluidity in their so-called demands, as if they want to say something, but not get themselves in a position where a lot of socialist-Marxist-communist demands become attached to them.
So let me ask you this, how do you know that the link you provided is the one to their "official" list of demands? This OWS group--by their own definition--is leaderless and faceless. There is no one with whom you could negotiate, no official spokesperson.
Just as the rest of us do, Dave knows enough about what these lunatic slugs want...I'd give him a break on this.
A lot of people on Twitter are saying I totally agree with the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) demands and goals. The only problem is that I have no idea what their demands and goals are. And neither does anyone else.Dear Dave: You are just not doing your research and in this case you are just dead wrong.

Dave does not say that "demands and goals" do not officially exist. Rather, Dave makes the point that if you surveyed the general OWS protester, they do not understand their own demands and goals. Dave correctly makes the point that himself (and any observer) of OWS protesters has to question their demands and goals, since they are not known to the protesters themselves.
Actually he read the OWS litany of all the “this is our one goal” items and you are referencing some google description of the 99 percenter declaration. His point is that they are so disconnected that it does nothing to add clarity to the discussion. You could ask, and he did, supporters of OWS for 3 radio hours and not get one repeat answer from the callers.
You add to the disconnect by providing a link to a 99%er vs. the OWS that he is discussing.
