I don't know if many of you know about the multi-country protests happening outside the Wall Street facilities in various cities. There's been a complete media blackout regarding the protests. It's not being reported in any major media, and of recently, there's been an escalation by the police departments attempting to provoke the occupation/protests into violence. Including fencing off protesters, pepper spraying them, and then just walking away.
If you're interested, you can read about it here (https://occupywallst.org/), or do various searches regarding it, as you won't hear much about it on the news.
In summary, I believe the goals of protesters are to bring to attention, and hold accountable the major banks that were responsible for the sub-prime fraud that brought down the economy, the activities of the Federal Reserve, as well as the greed and manipulation involving white collar crime that alot of these businesses practices. I believe another grievance is that taxation of lower income earners, while the wealthy refuse to be taxed. I won't claim to know much about the movement, but I do not know that it's growing, and it still hasn't been reported in major media.
