Under construction. :-)
I have been meaning to look up the numbers, but I remember reading that the year after the massive antiwar demonstration against Vietnam, the draft ended and almost no one showed up at the next antiwar rally in DC. Evidently, the protest hadn't really been about the war, the "poor Vietnamese" and "US Imperialism," but the fact that upper middle and upper class kids might get drafted.
I wonder how many OWS would be left if, say, student loans were erased? We've already seen that the OWS don't care much about the poor. They don't want to share their organic chicken and gourmet food with the homeless so, now, they are only giving them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (which is probably going to stop since I read the PB is going up 40% next week) and brown rice.
It's not about the poor or the children or income inequality. It's all about them and what they want. They've got a roomful of participation trophies and, naturally, believe that they are entitled to a free Ivy League education and a corner office and six-figure salary right out of college.
Erase student loans and the OWS protestor population would be cut by more than 50% overnight.
