Look. I don't understand why Tea Partiers and Occupy Wall Street can't find common ground. Look, if you wanna fuck the current status quo, find common ground with the Tea Party and vice versa.
My goal is to over throw the current political system. I'm willing to help, but you all need to find common ground so we can start somewhere.
How about we share this pledge with them. I think if millions of people took this pledge in all seriousness, we could make some major progress in this country:
"I pledge to do everything that I can to educate myself in the mechanisms of government, banking, economics and law, and understand the arguments for and against the system being this way or that way. In particular, I will make an effort to understand views I disagree with, empathize with those whose thinking is alien to me, and understand why they feel the way they do. I will take care not to underestimate the complexity and gravity of these matters. I will seek to use what I learn for the betterment of this country and its people, and the world as a whole. I will treat my education in these matters as an ongoing, lifelong process, because I understand that society will not evolve if I as an individual stop evolving."
Tea partiers & OWS do have common ground - it's called End the FED. Wall Street is the symptom - it is rigged with what?
FIAT CURRENCY. Our 'money' is fake - backed by nothing, and it will be driven into the ground.
All empires throughout history debased their currency to rob the people when they began their decline. Rome. America.
Something conducive to long-run economic growth. There are many ways to achieve this, but the more fundamental aspect is to destroy Corporatism.
What would you want instead of this current political system?
