The takedown of society the Occupy Wall Street protests strive to achieve, like the politicians they serve, has no significant constituency.
Even those with a strong sense of entitlement don’t race off to the public square to protest when they can watch it from the comfort of their digs on television.
The government is no help to the protest there because it cannot afford to withdraw its support of 42% of American households until the very end of the game. To do so now would cut too heavily into one of their most dependable voter contingents.
