I've been saying for some time that this "day of rage" is nothing more than a trumped up notion to provide the Obama administration an excuse to levy more "executive orders" down our throats.
Led by the likes of Trumpka (ACORN founder) and those that wanted to mimic the "Day of Rage" staged by the Weather Underground in 1969, it is unlikely that the White House knows nothing of the event and what they have planned.
It's a shame. I can imagine that there are some people there who really feel that they are there to promote their personal beliefs that corporations are out of control. What is actually happening is that this event will allow Obama to promote further regulations and impositions on regular people, leaving corporations (GE for example) alone.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
And if a good crisis doesn't present itself?
Make one.

Yah Beez, Trumpka proudly admitted he was involved in the Egypt revolution. Did you hear the drums in the backgroud? Sounds a lot like what they used at the Wisconsin protests.
Day of Rage has four stated principles that include a commitment to non-violence, disassociation from any political party or candidate, complete autonomy from other such movements, and having no financial backing of any kind. [However,] when one follows the organizers and money trail, they find quite a different picture indeed. Even the name of the event is revealing. “Day of Rage” harkens back to Day of Rage as coined by the domestic terrorist organization of the 1960s, Weather Underground. Founders of that movement, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dhorn, are well known long-time associates of President Obama.
ACORN’S work in getting out the vote for the President is no secret and it has been hard at work providing a platform for the September 17th event. ACORN founder, Wade Rathke, announced in March what he called “days of rage,” focusing on JP Morgan Chase in ten cities. Rathke is also a former president of SEIU in New Orleans. Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member who has visited the Obama White House at least four times has, called for “a week of civil disobedience, direct action all over the city.” Lerner is considered one of the most able organizers of the radical left who in his own words wants to “destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement.”

living in a cave playing with sticks pennyless because you dont have anything that they provide that we all use on a daily basis.
you need them but no dont beleive in a free market or anything of the sort you want control and that control is strangling this country lets control them even more.
The mostly peaceful protest, called "Occupy Wall Street," was spearheaded by the activist magazine Adbusters and promoted through Twitter, Facebook and other social media networks. Organizers have said the protests are modeled on the "Arab Spring" wave of uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere.

Now, that must be true to some extent, Americans (as anyone else) can be bad with their money, but you're really simplifying the problem. The economic situation is more due to government (perhaps intentional) negligence and corporate malpractices.
