"Yeah! Maybe if we gather outside the NYSE, the executives thousands of miles away will start to distribute the wealth to us!" Wot. This will literally accomplish nothing at all. Anyone stupid enough to waste their time attending these pseudo protests is probably in the bottom 1% of intelligence and, as such, nowhere near the top 50% of earners. If you want a successful protest, quit buying the goods from the large companies and support local small businesses. You're all contributing to the problem. Quit making more work for the NYPD (no wonder they're getting aggressive). Take some initiative and organize a boycott instead. When you go out to buy shit from Wal-Mart or Toyota, you're part of the problem and contributing to your own economic downfall.

The problem is not big corporations; the only way to stop making corporations profit is to stop buying things. It's the government piling on more regulations so that you and I can't have jobs because our employment is costing the corporations too much. If we could fix the regulation problem, start drilling for domestic oil, and make the illegal aliens fill out their paperwork or get out, then America would once again be a great nation. What's stopping that is the Democrats. And, to a slightly lesser extent, the Republicans.
