I agree with all sentiments of protest..however, I cannot envision where this is leading... Why not just actively boycott corporations..ie..stop making purchases of material items...eating unhealthy unnatural food, etc. To really affect the situation is to hurt what they value..profits. They really don't care about peoples' hardships..only the health of their businesses. The way the protest seems to be progressing is that it is pulling more people into the fold, stirring things up with five O, politicians, govt etc...and we really dont want them involved because they are all part of the same...to take the power out of their hands..cease supporting them through your purchases. Go local and sacrifice what you may have a "desire" for, and make a statement that all we need is our selves. Peace

Dear friends! I'm happy for you. 1% owns nearly everything. Oligarchs Wall Street makes money on wars and poverty. U.S. debt - 14.6 trillion, the largest in the world. Oligarchs print more and more dollars without any control.

Here's the video from which I was shocked.

No one wants corporations to stop making profits.

We want them to pay their fair share and stop stealing our representatives from us. That is pretty much it.
