There was a hijacking of the Tea Party but that was by Democrats in sheep's clothing in order to save their azzes. Your answer is no. OWS's problem is OWS members and their childlike mentality, they were doomed to fail because they had no structure or aligning purpose.
Their demands were also inappropriate and reeked of fantasy.
Tea Party was bought by the Koch brothers. Ows is not bought by anyone. It is a non partisan protest to point out that our government has been bought by big money which wall street represents.
Yes both parties have been bought and do not represent the peoples interest. OWS is not against wealthy only as it their use of that wealth to buy our government for their profit at the expense of the 99%. It is a simple but necessary concept to rid the country of the corruption to get the country moving in the right direction again.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
