You are probably right. They will lose steam the same way the tea partiers lost steam: disillusionment. The tea partiers were mad at the government, hence all the revolution talk. Many realized, even after the 2010 election sweep, no amount of name changes was going to restore America. A large portion became hopeless.
The other side of the coin is up in arms now, not that much is different now than during the tea partiers protest other than the majority party in the House. The too will realize that nothing will change things in ways other than what those in control want. In the meantime, now the Dems get a grass roots group to rally behind and manipulate.
In the end, they will be just as disillusioned as many of the tea partiers.

I find that part scary. From what I have seen and heard, the new grievances and any solutions OWS has presented, different from those presented by the tea partiers, are a radical retreat from the ideals of a free society.
I think it is clear that aspects of investing that led to our economic problems need to be worked out. With OWS, these protest can only influence the investors/bankers/corps, or the lawmakers. The former being large businesses don't capitulate to anything but the dollar. The later only do anything in an election year, and then its laced with loopholes and worse.
