Same here.most of the people I met at Occupy site were middle class, working poor, struggling, some wealthy with a social conscience.
very few were street people, bums, etc... but those ones were more visual and vocal. so what?
make the mistake of thinking the support for the Occupy movement was based on the often crazy demands of the general assemblies, and you err badly.
the national dialogue went from Tea Party idiocies and spending cuts, to what we have today...a more balanced discussion of wealth, social and government policies, financial realities, and more...
I didn't pay all that much attention to General Assembly edicts, but the Occupy movement definitely re-focused the debate on income inequality and how elected Republicans AND Democrats serve the same (1%) masters.
