Have all Occupy Wall Street people file for unemployment...If unemployment shows a true number. They don't want to see those numbers go up, because their profits go down. Major increase in unemployment is bad for Wall Street and government. Wall Street will see their profits fall and know America is worse off than they make it out to be.
Stop spending money on big names products and big name stores. Buy off brands and from small mom and pop shops. Wall Street lives off the big names Wal-Mart, Pepsi, Coco Cola, INTEL, AT&T, Ford, etc...
Have large numbers of Occupy Wall Street walk into big name banks that received bail outs and take up their time by setting up savings accounts and then closing them days later...this will cost them money and they will feel the pain.
Spend time planning on direct attacks on Wall Street that are all legal and will allow you to get the point across right where Wall Street does not want it. Think of tactical measures to beat them at their own game.
In other words: The economy is crap and politicians won't stop spending money out the wazoo, but the best thing we can come up with in our idiotic movement is to hurt businesses more. What a stupid idea.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (Tea party republican favorite) top secretary urged Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings on Friday to instruct city police to remove Occupy Albany protesters from a downtown park near the state Capitol if they tried to remain there after an 11 p.m curfew.
A person familiar with the matter said Cuomo’s secretary, Larry Schwartz, called Jennings late Friday morning and said that State Police, who control half of the park that is partly owned by the state of New York and city of Albany, would remove any protesters who did not comply with a curfew. The position of the governor’s office was in contrast to an earlier plan by Albany police to leave the protesters alone if they were peaceful, even if they stayed overnight.
Occupy Albany demonstrators began arriving at Lafayette/Academy park around noon. Half of the space is state land, the rest city property.

You could have 1000x the number of OWS participants withdraw their entire bank accounts and it wouldn't even amount to a blip on the radar of one of the major banks.
Sorry to be a bummer, but you need to be clear headed about fighting these bastards.
The way to fuck them is through the political system which they own.
I don't know about that. When I closed my acct with BoA, they practically grovelled, begging me not to leave. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
...Then again, LOL!
