So some in Washington are desperately trying to "address" exactly what you don't like and are complaining about - but the special interest lobbies in Washington are blocking it completely through the Republican party.

Hence, Occupy Wall Street exists: to take back Washington and our government from the large corporations and special interests owning our government process and manipulating it to their, not our, end. Haven't you had enough of that?

Call Mitch McConnell and tell him to stop blocking the implementation of the CFPA and the appointment of it's head. That is what Occupy Wall Street wants to happen. Get corporate ownership out of our government.

Occupy Wall Street has nothing to do with how much CEO's make. It has everything to do with investment banks crashing our economy, getting bailed out by us, never being investigated for their malfesence, then we stay in the recession while they go on to record profits and bonuses, because Washington is owned by those corporations, and they won't let Washington make any laws that will benefit us, and threaten their profit margin.

Just curious, but if this whole "movement" has nothing to do with CEO income, why did a bunch of protesters meander over to the personal residences of several CEO's the other day? For exercise I guess?

I guess if you really wanted to know, you'd watch the news. No, that had nothing to do with CEO income, it had to do with an expiring NY tax rate. But it appears you think it more convenient to not know the facts, and just attribute whatever purpose you make up in your mind.

Ignorance is bliss. Damn effing dirty hippies, right? LOL.
