I like the idea of rallying against Wall Street and against corporate greed gone wild, but unfortunately the protesters don't seem to have any plan or goal, other than to bring attention to themselves.
Until the protesters, as a collective, decide what it is SPECIFICALLY, that they WANT, or that they are AGAINST, they will eventually just look like a group of idiotic kids (ie Anonymous) just gathering for the sake of gathering.
This type of protest should have been happening when the banks were failing, and demanding government welfare and handouts from Washington, with OUR tax money!
Now it's two years later, so it's hardly a "timely" Wall Street protest. The people have been screwed over, the wealthy took everyone's money, and no one in Washington (on either side) seem to want to stand with the people against the greed, because the criminals continue to finance their campaigns.
The protest is screaming out for a logical position with an understandable and clear message, and that position should be as much against Congress and Washington, as it is against Wall Street.
A real agenda needs to come together. For example, people threatening to pull all their money out from (blank), or striking against (blank), or boycotting (blank), etc.
To just form angry mobs, without a common direction or goal, is almost stupid. What will be accomplished by this?
