Count Warren Buffett's son among those sympathetic of the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Howard Buffett, son of Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, told Bloomberg on Thursday that he understands the frustration that many middle-class Americans currently feel. He, for one, places blame on both corporate abuse and the growing wealth gap.

"I think it takes that to make things happen sometimes," Buffett, himself a farmer and philanthropist, said. "We saw large corporations really screw people."

Anger toward Americans remains especially pointed toward the financial sector. Indeed, confidence in the U.S. banking system has dropped to a new low, according to a recent Rasmussen poll, at a time when major banks face allegations of widespread mortgage abuse while continuing to impose new fees on customers.
