This is the whole crux of the debate. I think they know what they're trying to argue, but they are having extreme difficulty articulating it or forming it into a coherent, effective message.
They may not have had a discussion because they don't know how to even begin with it. But I would say that for the most part, these people are arguing about economic difficulties and pointing fingers at those who own the wealth and make the corporate/political decisions. I think that much is pretty obvious if you look at what's being "protested" in New York, Calgary, wherever.
Cap, I can tell you're educated an passionate about the issue, and perhaps that's why you have a good grasp of the whole thing. Many people, protesters and non-protesters, don't have as good of an understanding, for whatever reason that might be.
