Want To Know What Occupy Wall Street Wants? Watch Their New Commercial–video

Critics have asked this a thousand times, "what do you want, Occupy Wall Street?"

The group just released a video that has some answers, and in terms of video quality, it's pretty good. Conent-wise, it's a simple montage of protesters talking about what they want to see happen in the U.S.

Some of the desires are not very concrete: one man says he wants more serious political discussion (and I bet both sides of the aisle would say they're serious), and another man says he wants "true democracy for the 99% of us that don't have it anymore."

But there are legitimate policies in there too. One girl says she wants to see the rich pay higher taxes, and for that money go to education. Another man says he wants more regulation for Wall Street.
