Q There has been disdain for capitalism as a whole...
This is a movement against corruption, criminality, cronyism, and regulatory capture.
Decisions [are] made by the rich in order to enable their thievery. Returning to a democratic capitalism would be an improvement.
Q How did this movement begin?
Technically, the movement began in late 2008. The crash and bail-outs revealed the recklessness of Wall Street banks. Over the next three years, we saw the impact of those decisions. Banks and corporate profits bounced back quickly to their pre-crash levels, while 99 percent of the people saw widespread unemployment and strife.

Recession was a game played out for the working classes who pay taxes through their nose and get looted by the system-SYSTEMATICALLY (in the name of slump economies OR global recession). Its been proven beyond DOUBT that this is an exercise used to recover losses for the RICH and let me tell you they have no affinity to any religion or region. They only know MONEY........ I am sure Gandhi must be turning in his grave seeing ORGANISED CRIME of ORGANISED CRIMINALS (Govt/Industrialists) around the world. Look what they are doing to Anna and the people who stood up for this cause. Our govt. has proved themselves to be even more CHEAP than colonial rulers at least they only called Gandhi an old man in LOIN cloth but Mr. Digvijay Singh has been handed over with just one agenda Malign anyone who opens his/her mouth to fight against ORGANISED and govt. backed corruption..................
