There's also the "We Are the 99%" thing that ties in with it. Admittedly I'm still learning about the protests and everything but the 99% percent thing seems to be trying to bring to attention how badly so many citizens, even honest and hard-working ones, are living right now. http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/ is a blog with pages of stories from people supporting those in the protest.
Interesting, I find that one counter to this, "We Are the 53%" (Of people that are actually wealthy enough to be able to pay income taxes.) actually just highlights the issues common citizens face even more. Many of the 53% posts are talking about having just the same problems of living paycheck to paycheck and being one medical emergency from bankruptcy, but with a dash of contempt for others in the same boat who actually want things to be better for everyone. (Then of course there's a few "Me/my family owns three businesses fuck you got mine" for good measure.) http://the53.tumblr.com/
EDIT: for fun
