Didn't take me long to find, it looks to me like their goals are to seek solutions to the problem of the imbalance of wealth between the bottom 99% and the top 1%, sure it's general, but it's better than a stubborn insistence on only trying to solve it in a single way. Methods that come to mind are raising the tax on the rich, closing tax loop holes and preventing the influence of the rich over politics.
I'm not a spokes person, I searched google and watched the news, this should be obvious to anyone who has actually read into this debate. Further stating that they have no goals (without evidence or elaboration) will be met with your post being in some way moderated, be it a mod message or a delete, I wont infract for it because it doesn't count as a useless post, but it does still break the rules of entering into debate without proper fore knowledge.
That said, anyone who simply associates any movement with a blanket assertion, without backing up the assertion with evidence, will find they get an infraction, it's lazy and invalid as a form of argumentation even in an informal debate setting such as discussion.
