Occupy Wall St.: A movement for dreamers rather than for middle-class Americans trying to make ends meet

That being said: we need more dreamers. 

How do we turn middle American’s into the dreamers (again?)?

Steve, if for some crazy reason you’re reading this:

You’ve defined a generation and changed the world.

Thank you.

We wish you the best.
