I think this helps explain the fear some have of the OWS:

Why OWS Scares the Crap Out of Republicans[/h]
"It’s very frightening for them, really.You’ve all heard the story, of the “
Emperor With No Clothes” If you have no children, here’s a refresher.
Two thieves get caught and are to be killed by decree of the king. They intrigue the king with a story of how they are both master tailors, and if allowed to live, they can make a suit like no other. The king agrees and sets them up in a tower. The thieves concoct a story that their suit is so fine, and magical; fools won’t be able to see it… If you don’t see the suit, you are a fool. No one admits to the king they don’t see it, and of course the king, heavens. He can’t admit to all that he too is a fool…. Eventually the process becomes finished, and the parade showing off the new suit begins. Pictures from old accounts show the king butt naked, with all his parts hanging down. Newer versions are more modest; some even showing long johns covering the entire body… Bottom line, everyone is shocked. no one says a thing. … Except one little boy who didn’t get the message… “Why, he’s wearing nothing on him at all.” and the gig is up… The crowd laughs and the king disappears never to show his face again….
Republicans have this myth that everything is fine. Corporate profits are up. Taxes are low. Budgets everywhere are getting slashed. Labor costs are lower than ever. Pensions and insurance plans are no longer being paid for by corporations; the insured are picking up that tab.. Yes everything is rosy. The Ronald Reagan plan is definitely working well proving that if you cut taxes, cut taxes, cut taxes, you will then have no choice but to cut government, cut government, cut government. Life is rosy and then you come around the corner and there are OWS protestors… right on your street. proving you whole concept wrong….
For you see, it is not working. People are unemployed. People can’t afford to pay their bills, People’s investments are falling down around them. People’s houses are being foreclosed. It’s like the little boy pointing out: there’s nothing there at all!… and everyone can see he is right.
That is the power of the protesters right there in the financial district, where they cannot be ignored. For you see, it is not working. It is working for the 1%; it is not working for the 99%."
