About 200 people in Massapequa and Sag Harbor Saturday took aim at corporate influence in politics and growing income gaps as they staged local versions of the Occupy Wall Street protests.

At a rally dubbed Occupy Massapequa, about 100 people stood at Route 107 and Sunrise Highway, holding signs like "Working Class Heroes" and "Honk to Tax a Millionaire."

A steady stream of passing drivers did.

By the windmill on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor, more than 100 people held signs such as "Wall Street: Buy Stocks, Not Politics," and spoke about their concern about education cuts and wealthy Americans who they say do not pay their fair share of taxes. They called their protest Occupy the Hamptons.
