As the American dream unravels – Opinion – Al Jazeera English
Something is unravelling in America. The dream, the purpose and the drive are worn and tired. The people are under siege.
Occupy Wall Street is organic; it’s homegrown and native. The voluntary, viral and near-spontaneous movement began as a reaction to a political system governed by a venal class of politicians and financiers. The story of their ascent to power is the story of the pauperised American worker and the indigent American family. It is the story of a stealthy coup and a government at war against its people. It is the story of the one per cent versus the 99 per cent.
