Did this 60 plus year old cartoon hit what is happening today in America on the head or is it just me?

  ''Professional agitators'' is being kind. After seeing many interviews with these people, it is very obvious that they have no clue as to why they are ''protesting''. One young lady suggested that we should get rid of all money to solve the worlds problems..............I think she is a N.Y.U. grad!!!

Exactly, the theme has changed constantly...so where is the push coming from?  Some "phantom menace"?

I believe the cartoon hit more than just that issue.

Perfect example of ISM in the real world was Nazi-ism and Commun-ism.

I got curious and looked them up at www.occupywallstreet.org
And clicked on List Of Demands. I found I agreed with some of them. I'm sure there are kookie & illinformed members but they all aren't.
