Many are already... see nationwide protest. Planned Demonstrations by State here

mouser:
The one thing about the above video is that i don't think it quite does justice to the nefariousness of the big financial institutions.

This recent interview from Bill Moyers show which i think is also very useful for understanding what happens and what's still going on.

The interview is with William Black, the former Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention:

kartal:
I think that the people who borrowed money from those institutions to buy houses bare responsibility  for the mess we are in. It is not just those greedy bankers, decent people got greedy as well.

nudone:
nice video, mouser. not a lot you can say after that.

personally, i'm just looking forward to the next documentary film that Adam Curtis will (surely) make about the whole mess.

here's a quick clip he did for Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe in 2007 (if anyone is curious).

but, really, you should watch these, i think they provide a nice (opionated) history of how we got to where we are today:

The Trap: What Happend to Our Dreams of Freedom (2007)
The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear (2004)
The Century of the Self (2002)
