Loved your post 'til I got to this comment. I think you've missed the point of the whole OWS movement.

Its less about corporate or govenment handouts to individuals and more about the perversion of our political system. The idea that Corporations have individual rights and can therefore make unlimited political donations to PACs is at the heart of the whole issue.

It used to be "of the people, by the people and for the people." Now Corporations and rich individuals can buy all the political power they need to emasculate regulations to suit their individual interests.

You and I cannot match that power.

Two things need to happen in this country immediately.

1. Amend the Constitution to reflect that individual rights belong only to individual HUMAN beings.
2. Campaign finance reform.

Until then, we will continue to drift until we're a big third world country wondering what happened to America.

Spot on. Campaign finance reform is a difficult task and money will always find a way to a politician....either in office or out.

Sadly, I agree with you.

No intention to insult. Its just that blaming Republicans of Democrats is the easy way out and demonstrates little understanding. It is much more complex than that and blaming one side gives the other side a pass and a sort of "moral high ground" in this mess. Lay blame where it is.....both aisles, human nature and greed, the ignorant/gullible American public who accept this behavior and the basic principles of the public market....keep growing at whatever cost or die.

thus my choice in using the hybrid .. RepublICRAT... taken from the fusion of Republican and DEMOCRAT... that generally sums up the entire congress, both sides, baring one or two fringe members.

I knew you'd read it as Republican but I wanted to have fun with you for a bit... peace.

Agreed. Bernie Sanders is the single notable exception.

and arguably Ron Paul.. Though the one I really miss is James Traficant.. talk about a guy who stepped on a few toes.

I'm not a Republican. More of a libertarian. But I missed what you were doing. Well done. Peace.

Hey dude- why do you defend wall street? Is your head that buried in the sand that you think wallstreet deserves the wealth the US middle class earned? They've been a problem and conservatives allow it happen

Stop the presses.

I agree with Wave on something.
