Yes, because of its national and international reach
27%

Yes, because it taps deep frustration
29%

No, it won’t last

I hope things do change.  I hope that the era of government bailouts is over.  I hope that the era of "too big to fail" is over.  I hope that people realize the "government regulation" like the SEC is not effective.  If we REALLY want change, dump the BS regulations and have States pass statutes regulating financial exchanges.  Make the activities that OWS has pointed out CRIMINAL not civil.  You can't spend those millions when your in prison for 20 or 30 years.  If you haven't noticed that the Federal government is not prosecuting any of this then you are not paying attention.  These are legitimate concerns.  But OWS has been subverted by the fringe left, and they are losing more and more of their credibility every day.

Your headline is disingenuous and/or completely inaccurate.

You forgot this part.
