Am I saying the majority of these protesters are incompetent failures at life? Yes, and the evidence is in the fact that the movement doesnt even have a single damned argument or theme, ZERO organized call to action and ZERO direction.
This is assuming that the only cause of the protestors is "get me a job." As you said, there are many causes. How about the failure of the democratic system that got Bush into office the second time? Or taxes vs wars vs inflation? Or the fact that we're spending on wars and bailouts and giving lip service to infrastructure and education? Reform is needed, and badly at that.

BTW - I played on a soccer team that certainly DID keep score. In the 80s and 90s
