The fact that they "tried", speaks volumes against those that don't. Like R.P. McMurphy trying to pick up that sink in One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest, at least they tried.

So, for the OWS to take the next step, here's their Top Ten Demands:

1. Bring back Glass-Steagall
2. Increase the tax rate on capital gains from 15% to 25%
3. Increase the tax rate on stock dividends from 15% to 25%
4. End all subsidies to oil companys
5. Close all loopholes allowing companies to "off-shore" their profits to avoid being taxed
6. Repeal Citizens United
7. Repeal corporate personhood
8. Break up the big banks into little banks
9. Add the public option to the healthcare bill
10. Tell David Stern if he doesn't cut a deal with the players within 30 days, he's going to GITMO!

There's more, but I wanted to keep it simple.
