Contrary to the illusion that's being perpetrated by the occupy movement, there are very few of the so called one percent that are being inconvienienced.

I agree, they should be protesting in Washington. There's no question abou that.
But Wall Street is a great symbol of the crony capitalism that went on, and is likely still going on, in today's American economic / political climate.
I just don't think the protest would have the same effect if they did it in Times Sqaure or Central Park. New York is also a place that may be more easy for people to congregate in - plus the fact that the population of New York is much, much greater, but that fact is fairly obvious.
