I'm not sure even the protestors know.
We affirm that any lasting and workable solution must reach beyond mere politics, that political issues do not matter at a time when our collective voice has been nearly silenced. We believe that the current political climate has caused a paralysis of our Government. We find that our individual opinions mean little when we are no longer being properly represented. In fact, we believe that the Balance of Power between the Branches of our Government has been corrupted to the point where it can answer only to members of an affluent and politically active upper class. The impending result of this imbalance is that government of the People, by the People, for the People has almost perished from Our Nation. We believe that government has been influenced by an external source that has conspired to control it to the point of stalemate. We believe that this was forced upon us by "special interests", corporations, lobbyists, the banking and the financial sector including Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, who together have used unrestrained financial leverage leading to the corruption of many politicians, regardless of their political party, resulting in great damage to the People and to this Nation.

Whoa, calm down. It's a joke.
You remember jokes, right?
I have personally spoken with a lot of the protestors, and a majority of them - note, not all - don't know why they're protesting; they're just there because they're making headlines.

Just to let you know, the second half of your post entirely negates the first half.
And I fail to believe that you spoke with a random number of protesters, and the majority said "I dunno, but there's TV cameras and # here!!"
I've been involved since Occupy Atlanta began, and even though there were some people who were homeless or just bored, that came and sat in, by their 4th day, whether or not they supported, they knew why people were out there.
