I think they should have stopped after the second paragraph. Though some of their grievances are valid, others are not in the absolute control of only corporations.
Let's not forget that these corporations could not exist if the 99% didn't support them financially.
Starting off with the 'illegal foreclosures', this is the first I've heard of this issue, and it makes them sound out of touch.
Have corporations perpetuated inequality and discrimination? I don't think so, individual people within a corporation may have done that, but I don't see that as a major issue in corporate America.
Outsourcing labor is a reality in the flattened world. The answer would be protectionism, and everybody would complain about the costs of things. In fact, they already do!
They have donated money to Politicians, but is that the corporations fault, or the politicians?
Basically, I agree with their initial sentiments, but when you get into the details, I think they still need to work on focusing on the change. If they expect to tear down the capitalist system, I suspect the cure could be worse than the disease.
