The profits are not being funneled back into the mainstream economy to create jobs it's the same thing as fishing out a lake if the lake isn't restocked every spring then the lake runs out of fish same thing with this economy the 1% Are Not Interested in making the 99% Prosperous What don't you get about all this???
Amen !!!For decades now the corporations and special interests have had our "representatives" bought and paid for (both on the right and the left). Don't get distracted by the symptoms - we need to address the root cause. Concentrating our efforts on getting the money out of our politics is the best way we can create an environment in which further reforms can be realized. Until we end the current system of legalized bribery (campaign donations) and paid lobbying our politicians will continue to be the LAP DOGS of the corporations and special interests. What we need first and foremost is real, loop-hole free CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM!!!! If the corruption is not dealt with first, the chance of any other meaningful reforms becoming a reality is almost zero - the special interests will just use their money to buy votes and put forward bills that create loop-holes or otherwise twist the law in their favor. If we want our children to live in a country where there vote matters, we need to get the money out of our politics, otherwise they will increasingly become the 21st century version of the "landless peasant." Spread the word - End the LEGALIZED BRIBERY!!! CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM needs to be THE main goal of the protests!!!
regulating corporations will never happen otherwise.. or should we demand that congress not be populated with despots? we have to stop electing weak minded people that will sacrifice the country for personal gain.
