The Federal Reserve is partially responsible for this mess with its loose monetary policy. Many struggling home owners are getting no relief. Government programs and shady banks lured many of us into these lopsided deals. No PMI mortgage insurance relief, no loan modifications for underwater housing being extended. Those continuing to pay these loans on time are being exploited while it drags this economy down lining the pockets of a few fat cats.
Immoral drug companies making disgusting profits dragging the health and econimic system down, exectuvies and management rewarding themselves first! on the back of the hard work of others. The loss of our young in never ending wars with no goal other than to serve the interest of the wealthy. AND the media says we have no reason to be upset???
To fix the problems we need to first fix the system that causes the problems and prevents us from keeping capitalism in check. Capitalism is a wonderful system but it has to be kept in check. That is what the govt is suppose to do through regulations. However corporations make their own regulations by buying the govt.
Thus we need to fix this problem and max the govt work for us like it is suppose too and THEN fix capitalism itself.
My ideas for fixing the govt: http://occupier777.angelfire.com/
Demand #2,4,5. Something like those are needed so we regain control of the govt. Otherwise the only other way to control what goes on is to have Occupy movements like this one. Or revolutions and i really dont think anyone wants that.
Basically, we need to demand Congress to reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which was the solution that ended the wide-spread corruption on Wall Street during the Great Depression by preventing banks and insurance companies from being one, which I feel is the root issue of how we got here.

You still haven't actually asked for anything. Just given another laundry list of complaints. What specifically needs to happen to correct these things. That "thing, or occurrence" is the is the answer to the question everyone is asking.
