"What Do You Say About Occupy Wall Street?"



Courtesy: Washington Post


A good friend tweeted me that question a week ago. I procrastinated for a couple of days, knowing that I was out of my depth on this issue, being neither a social scientist nor a political analyst. Besides, I'm an ex-investment banker who has never lived in America, with no ax to grind against an industry currently harangued by the Occupy Wall Street movement (OWS).

In the end, the challenge of an intriguing question got the better of me. After some research and much discernment, I tweeted back that, "I think this could eclipse the Tea Party Movement in terms of breadth and scope as it becomes a nationwide movement over time."

Do you agree? What do you think?
