Jeff- mutli-nationals rely on people looking to blame everyone else but them. They carefully cultivate this "defection of blame." As long as people are yelling at the politicians or at the banks, they won't come directly to the problem. Wall Street execs and the banks and politicians are mere puppets. Once the protests start going directly to the multinationals, only then will things really change. Also, China is a huge problem. Perhaps camping outside their embassy would help illuminate the issue...

I think the revolution's slogan will become a self-fulfilling prophecy, based on exactly how things play out. People need to understand that it's really not about just Wall Street or the puppets in D.C., but more about the multi-nationals and China - who REALLY control things through the financial markets, lobbying and in terms of financing political campaigns. Why even bother with marching on Wall Street. Go camp outside the multi-nationals headquarters in your state. And don't leave until they agrre to bring jobs back to America...

someone told me you can't have a revolution without a great slogan:

We Have Permission to Change the System http://www.JeffBlock2012.com

Some have been posting Lennon/McCartney's "Revolution" song not realizing the message is anti-revolution!

why would multi-national headquarters respond to people camping outside their buildings?
