What we have here is an attempt to communicate- a good thread. What we need here is for an active, knowledgeable member of Occupy to read this blog and shed some light on their true position. I don't expect the media to dedicate much time to a movement that has an issue with the one percenters, many newscasters finding themselves in that category. Unfortunately, the Occupy movement complains about a complex problem- not like Vietnam War protesters who simply wanted the war to end, a battle that took years- that requires a complex solution, a solution that, as I see it, has not been designed. I say: Show me a plan. Show the public a plan. Sell it.
Interesting to me is now that Superpacs are ok, Obama, who condemned them in the past, will now be embracing the money because, as he says, it levels the funding with the Republicans. The harsh reality is that money gets people elected. No matter how a candidate feels about it, money is the only static in the race for a post. A guy can be as liberal as a socialist and he may hate it but only money gets him in office. Choose the guy you want, maybe cleanse the entire cabinet, but bring your wallet and your debit card because its the only way to get him elected. Pick about 485 newbees and maybe a change can be made.
I'm not saying this is good. The bright side is that a million people donating a dollar to a campaign has more clout than one guy donating a million. The hard part is finding the right guy to back and getting a million people to do more than drop a buck on the collection plate.
As far as Medicare, Social Security is concerned, I thank my lucky stars its there for me. I guess that makes me a tiny bit socialist.
