"Increased regulation on banks would drive the cost of banking at the retail level. Raising taxes on the most mobile segment of society is a little crazy, too: A lot of advisers I speak with worry that clients will move assets offshore."

A larger polls show a large number of Americans either support the movement or are just plain angry over the direction of the country is headed.

About 37 percent of Americans back the protestors, Democrats mainly, while a full 58 percent say they are upset over U.S. politics in general, an Associated Press-GfK poll finds.

Blame Washington, but don't blame bankers, some say.

"They've got reasons to be upset, they've got reasons to protest, but they're protesting against the wrong people," Jan Jarrell, 54, a retired school custodian, says of the New York demonstrators, the Associated Press reports.

"They need to go to Washington, to Congress and the White House. They're the ones coming up with all the rules."
