Anti-Capitalist, or Anti-Corrupt Practices

Critics of the Occupy Wall Street movement often charge that the movement is anti-capitalist. I think this charge is unfounded.

OWS started because of the frustration so many have at today's economic conditions, and the certain knowledge that our politicians serve special interests not the voters who put them into office.

I see the OWS movement as an attempt to REFORM capitalism and to REFORM congress, not to overthrow either institution.

It is very important our leaders understand this difference and respond appropriately. In 15717 an insignificant German monk objected to the corruption and error of his church. His name was Martin Luther, and he sparked a movement known today as the Reformation, and the movement ultimately caused the Roman Catholic church to lose its secular power and greatly reduced its influence on Christendom.
