Learning to love the protesters

Andrew Sullivan is growing fond of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and argues that they're not nearly as radical as we might think:

The Occupy movement has, according to recent polling, significantly more general support than the Tea Party, and its specific demands are highly popular. Huge majorities agree that corporate special interests have too much clout in Washington, that inequality has gotten out of control, that taxes can and should be raised on the successful, that the gamblers of Wall Street deserve some direct comeuppance for the wreckage they have bestowed on the rest of us. 

You're pushing an open door with me if you want to argue that corporations and special interests have too much influence in Washington, but on a couple of other points I'd have to disagree. Disagree profoundly, you might say.
