The Occupy Wall Street Movement is marking its first anniversary this week. Does it really have anything to celebrate? What are its real achievements? And why doesn't it get organized? Can it ever become a political party? CrossTalking with Charles Cooke, Salman Haider Sheikh and Joseph Palermo.

What Occupy has done is bring to the forefront the political corruptio n which is massive in the US.  It has also shown what democracy really is about, with all sides being brought to light and then by accepting and acting on the majority.  It is not political, it is economic slanted and as such it has show what a big gap there is in US society and just who has the political power.  It is in no way a part of MoveOver which was funded by George Soros.  The Tea Party was an astro-terf movement funded by the unber right wing rich, to do the uber right wing richs’ bidding.  Occupy does not buy politicians , the Tea Party does.  Occupy is not beholding to anyone which is a problem for the Democrats who more than anything would like to co-op it because of its popularity. 

Charles Cooke is totally unable to understand because he is pro upper class (1%), he is the type that feels he may some day be upper class (1%) so he must side with the ignorance of the upper class (1%).  To Mr. Cooke if it does not benefit him directly, it is of not benefit at all.  He does not have a sense of humanity or collective good.  Rand would think very highly of Mr. Cooke, where as the rest of society think he’s ignorant and blind to reality.

I think Joseph Polerno had a lot of valid points. I would like to hear how Charles Cooke 'defines' a criminal. (?)

This Joseph Palerno sounds like another progressive/leftist fraud.
I care if I am foreclosed and my credit rating.
The Govt is the source of all of our problems and he refuses to even think about how Govt with their politicians in terminal campaign mode who require truckloads of cash to keep their campaign in the public's eye.
Public employees, whom Palerno refuses to consider, are a source of our financial pain to pay taxes to keep this big fat useless monster breathing. Congress, Senate, Pres, Vp, re-arrange it all, including the 48billion annual cost to Homeland Security.
