Neither and both. Whether you're a corporation or a wealthy person, if you use your resources for bad business practices or to influence government officials for the sake of making more money, you are an issue.

Many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.

Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.

Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.

Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.

The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.

Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.

So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.

It is the corruption of politics by big money coupled with individual complacency and a general belief that unaffordable consumption is the be all and end all of the good life.

One of the most telling statements by a US President was that made by Bush 2 shortly after 9/11 when he admonished us to go out and shop like we always had.

We need a new ethos. One that is based on nobler things. One that is premeated by the belief that each of us as individuals and collectively can strive for both individual and collective betterment and that the two need not necessarily conflict.

What we bequeath our childred and theirs will define our place in history.

It's not the rich, the corporations, greed or anything of the sort. It is human nature to try to get the most while doing as little work as possible. This concentration of wealth is directly correlated with the concentration of land ownership. You can see this in any country on the planet. I say the solution, proven in theory, is to tax 100% of the rent from land. I can't possibly explain the whole idea of economic rent, but I urge everyone to please read up on it.

This tax does not only promote economic equality, but also can protect the environment by reducing urban sprawl and maximizes productivity and employment.

It is the richest 1% of the people and their corporations corrupting our elected officials within our government through the abuse of capitalism.
