Occupy Wall Street gathers steam

http://www.nma.tv Where did Occupy Wall Street start? Up north! Canada's AdBusters made the initial call for protesters to converge on Wall Street and demand campaign finance reforms. However, the movement failed to catch fire until the hacker group Anonymous took notice. The protests gained momentum, attracting some unlikely bedfellows in the process. In the past, liberal activists focused on clearly defined causes. Occupy Wall Street's muddled approach could compromise the movement's effectiveness. The rallying cry for the movement is "We are the 99%". But compared to most of the world, the protesters are still very privileged. Nevertheless, the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to gather steam. Will it become the Tea Party of the left?
