Occupy The Fed
Doesn't that make sense? Isn't that the scene of the crime?

There are so many things that need change. Oh where to begin!

1. Abolish it would be a better idea
But it's a start I guess.

2. You will find it to be very well defended.
You won't be allowed to walk in and take over. I am confident that they monitor sites such as this one and various Twitter accounts so they will be prepared.

3. Nobody is physically walking in to take these places over.
The "occupation" is metaphorical. You camp in the parks and walk down the streets to draw public attention to serious problems at the Fed and on Wall Street, namely the corrupt influence that Wall Street and the megacorporations have in our government and the injustice of the secrecy and aristocracy of the governors of the Fed. The Fed blunders and ruins the economy. We saw that with Greenspan, and they do it with virtually no feedback or input from ordinary Americans -- not even through Congressional oversight.

The Constitution (Article I, section 8 I believe) gives Congress the control over our currency. The Fed is a private company to which congress has delegated that authority. That authority the Congress has delegated to the Fed has been abused.

5. The OP did not say that he was being metaphorical, therefore I take him at his word.
Nor has he come back to the thread to explain himself.
