No, there isn't anything wrong with busting your ass to make money. No one said these guys didn't work hard to get where they are, simply that they are abusing the power that they earned. The decisions these guys are making on wall street have far-reaching consequences that effect the country as a whole, and these decisions are being made solely with their own wallets in mind. It's the classic problem with capitalism: people with bottom-line profit motives in positions of power that effect way too many people. I'm glad I live in a capitalist country where I can pursue my passions and work hard to make a living, but you have to acknowledge the bad side as well as the good to get the most out of the system.
As far as what they are trying to change, well, if you ask most of the people doing the actual occupying they'll give you some nebulous answer that doesn't make sense. They are just grunts in the movement, henchmen. What they really want, or really should want, is a more transparent, reliable, and honest set of legislature that put's the bigwigs on a tighter leash and promotes a fairer economic environment. I saw a NY Times article that had some decent suggestions, I can't be bothered to find it.
