OWS, Question about Wall Street protesters?

Are they only against corporate greed on wall street, or do they care about other abuses? I already know they don't care about government abuses of money.

But what about name brands? Do they wear name brands? Do they care that a pair of Nikes costs $5 to make, yet sells for over $100,. King Nike and his friends live in a solid gold castle with a moat filled with beautiful girls, while the workers make less than $20 a week and live in smog infested high-rise apartments along the Yangtze River in China?

Just curious as to why the hate is so specific to only one type of "immoral" businessman.

We already know they worship billionaire Steve Jobs, who adjusted his will so well that his wife wont have to pay inheritance tax on the billions she just got.

Just seems hypocritical. Unless someone can explain it to me better.

Update:

Drixnot, the big issue is "corporate ownership of our gov't"? Seems odd, since they aren't protesting outside of the White House...or George Sorros' house.

    The biggest issue is corporate ownership of our government.

    No, they don't worship Jobs.. or any other person. Buying the products of one company does not equate to worshiping.

    It seems to annoy corporate america. Wait til Nov. 5th when the banks get hit by protesters transferring or closing their bank accounts in favor of credit unions

    Yes, they do indeed care about those other things.

    PS: "a moat filled with beautiful girls"? Do they work better than alligators?

    They are simply idiot tools of the Obama gang. I doubt they have a clue what they believe in!
