First off, people understand money. Lots of people have lost money, or have no way to make any money, so by going after the money, it will cause more people to take notice and want to become involved.
I also think by going after the gravy the government is so fond of eating it will make them take more notice of what the people are fed up with, than if we just stood outside their offices.
I do feel we should be making things a lot tougher for the government right now too, and protesting on their door steps too, but everyone can get on the money wagon, where as it's harder for people to get on the government wagon.
This is part of the reason I've gotten involved with October2011 when I can. They have well seasoned activists that have been hitting the government along with the money. They know how to put up a good fight.

People are hitting Wall Street because they understand it is a private club that legally steals from the masses to accuire it's wealth. No one in the USA begrudges wealth, it's the stealing that is being protested.
