If any movement is asking the 99% to unite on any issue...it's doomed. One thing people in the US can't do is agree. Point fingers, that's all ANYONE does. Even the "good" pols are at it- it's not my fault, it's that guy across the aisle with the (insert opposite party here.)

If the left tries to respond by regulating the financial sector, or imposing taxes on millionares, the right will refute it by saying it's "Big Government" and it stops jobs from being created. And we'll be at the same stand-still we've been at...well, for about 3 years now.

I guess I'm just a cynic, but I honestly don't think the investment/financial world will change tomorrow. The only way to "change" the industry is for people to become financially independent, and stop using the loan services, credit cards, high-interest mortgages, etc. But I'm the kind of person who thinks protests don't accomplish much except for tying up traffic. (Not that I don't admire people who try...or that I don't think someone should listen. It's just that no one ever does, and everyone just eventually has to roll up their little signs and go home.)
