Because those are among the answers given to interviewers when
protesters are asked what they want. Simple.

The OWS demonstrators that I have heard interviewed did not provide
anything close to this cogent of answers. Some of these ideas are very
good, and should be implemented. If they are good ideas, capitalism
will provide the means for them to be implemented... and in many cases
it is already doing so. For example, local farmer's markets...
