I know people think they are stupid, and just don't want to work, but that's bull shit. These people are tired of how fucked up our country is, and so now have a long list of things they are bitching about.
They just want our country unfucked, and it's going to take a lot of things to change to do that.
I'm glad they are bringing all their gripes to the street. It speaks much louder that the people of this country are tired of the shit, and want everything to change, not just one thing.

Yep. And the fact that they are willing to publicly out all of the blighters and not just the ones on the public payroll shows me they have a more realistic view.
That being said, as BH has pointed out, I don't think the extreme positions stated on some of those picket signs help them at all. Do I think our capitalist system and the attitudes of some of its institutions could stand some change? Oh absolutely. Do I think we should "Destroy", "End", or "Kill" it? No, that's insane. We Americans, for better or worse, depend on this system and it works better than Communism ever did.
But, then every movement has it's whacko extremists. Really, it's how the movement affects the center and the mainstream that matters the most.
