At least where I am, many of the people talking about them or participating are young people, college age students or college grads. What's rather funny is that the people in that demographic who don't protest or join in claim they don't because they have a job and need to work otherwise they'd be all over that protest. Well, I call shenanigans. That's bullshit.
Also, I have a larger issue than that with this movement. They're protesting? Like standing around protesting? Really? The most creative we can get at this point is to protest? Out of work college students and grads can't come up with something better? It's the manifestation of what I believe is one of the true issues plaguing our country. Laziness. We're not creative and hardworking anymore. We have more technology and ways to spread our messages and the best that we can come up with is to stand around outside hoping we're looking like we're doing something without actually doing something. Isn't that one of the things we're mad at the government for?
It's just silly. Solutions need to be offered up from people. They need to band together and actually do something other than sit down. Find leaders (with no political or negligible political) experience to get into office and make what you want happen. But no, we'll take the easy way out.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

Now that authorities realize the protests have no real support, they're shutting them down

I wouldn't go that far. One clear demand is a reimposition of Glass-Steagal.

The governments had to rescue the banks because banks have REGULAR people's money.

Yes, so much of OWS seems like protesting for the sake of protesting.
