So far for the most part the Occupy Wall Street movement has been exactly that: what the people in this movement are against. Not really what they would do instead, what would their alternative agenda would be. Except for a few exceptions, like calling for a "national fair wage" of 20$ an hour. College for all provided by the Federal Government and of course health insurance for all again provided by the Federal Government. (What's known as Medicare For All) And they have been pretty discipline about not announcing an alternative agenda.
I'm guessing the reasons why OWS hasn't made their own agenda public yet, is because it easy to be against Wall Street right now. Thats like being against trial lawyers, or Congress, or communism. But once it's clear you're against something, but then the question comes what would you do instead. It's easy to be against something especially if it's unpopular, but harder to lay out what you would do instead. And once you're against something that has broad disapproval like Wall Street.
