When do people rally because they want change?

I think this might be relevant to bitcoin. Let me put it into context. Many use bitcoin and promote bitcoin because they do not like the way the existing financial system works. Some people throughout history has claimed that people would revolt if they knew how the banking system works. Yet they do not revolt.

Recently, there was the issue of a proposed internet tax in Hungary: http://news.yahoo.com/hungarys-orban-says-scrap-draft-internet-tax-law-091304949.html

It was scrapped due to much protest. Afaik, the proposal was to tax every 1GB of transferred data with half an EURO.

Protestors claimed this would hurt free speech, but also hurt innovation. But I wonder if the reason that so many people got involved in the protests is because they possibly had to pay much more for bandwith than they used to, after all those bills can quickly rack up.

So when we see how banks are robbing people blind and the malfunction of the current financial system, how come we don't see such uprisings protesting against this?

If we take the US, how come not millions of people are taking to the streets in protest of the Fed?
