OW has succeeded in so many ways.......
Living in a Red state, I see all around me OW being frowned upon by the establishment. BUT the conversation regarding stagnant wages, the widening gaps in income disparity, corporate income hoarding, bank rip offs, corporate manipulation of the wages and financial growth of the 99% etc is in full swing. Attention to a real problem, tangible information, wage disparity...all are no longer being swept under the rug, ignored or even brushed aside by the 1% and their enablers.

It's out there, loud and in their faces....and boy do these younger Republicans see it with more clarity than ever before. While they may cheer City Hall for shutting down a protest, the topic of conversation (of the those things that OW is publicizing) for is out there and being openly discussed.

1. Yes, and we can even vote to make the 99% person of the year!
The 99%

Time's person of the year's vote: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2098471_2098472_2098498,00.html

So far, the 99% = 46,920, and the 1% = 2,765...

Let's make THAT gap grow 'wider' every day!
