Occupy Wall Street is winning
Edited on Sat Nov-12-11 08:43 PM by Quixote1818
From Ben Smith at Politico 11/11/11


Whatever the objectives of protesters involved in Occupy Wall Street, they have succeeded in engaging the country in a conversation about income inequality.

A quick search of the news--including print articles, web stories and broadcast transcripts--via Nexis reveals a significant rise in the use of the term “income inequality,” from less than 91 instances in the week before the occupation started to almost 500 instances last week
