Words cannot express how invigorated I am to see the Occupy movement taking hold. I am 17 years old and began to loose hope for my generation. I thought that we would fade into the black as another group of people who could have done something. Now this thing is literally taking the world by storm, and I express total support for it. The only thing that I am noticing is that the Democratic Party is clinging to it. This could be dangerous. I do not want to see this movement be turned into the Democrat's version of the Tea Party. I realize that it is already MUCH more than that, but with the right amount of propaganda, it could be diminished and I would hate to see that happen. This is my first time posting, and I suppose i have a lot to learn, but lets not forget that BOTH sides care only for lined pockets. We need to turn this into its own entity. I believe that this shouldn't influence a certain party, it should BECOME its own party. Finally a party by the people, for the people. Not for short term political gain, not for mopey or power, but for US. Thank You
Fall of Capitalism/Secularism PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ECONOMIC MODEL As the capitalist, acting as promoter/administrator, invests a minimal/nominal amount of his own in the business (obtaining major funding at concessional interest rates) but is entitled to retain full profit and be liable, in the case of loss, only to the extent of his share holding, the underlying system is inherently oppressive and unjust. It is, therefore, time to introduce a new ECONOMIC MODEL for replacing the secular codes of capitalism which, due to its irrational structure, stands grounded since the very beginning of the 21st century.
The banks secure deposits from the general public against promise to pay interest at fixed rates without guaranteeing the face value of the pertinent currency prevailing in the international market at the time the money was deposited. In case, therefore, of devaluation of currency, the depositors lose the net worth of their deposits to the extent of devaluation. As happened with the US $, while 87 cents of a $ were equal to one Euro in 2001, $ 1.4925 is equal to one Euro today. Practically, thus the $ has lost 58.29% of original worth. All this is a result of credit based economy and loan based investment.
As far as the war on terror is concerned, its real cost has been passed on to the countries with US Dollar - based reserves or currencies but, interestingly, the currencies of most European NATO members were, in the year 2000, delinked from the Dollar by floating the Euro as a common EU currency.

Excellent post! Don't ever be afraid to make your voice heard.
im glad to hear a bright young man has renewed hope...if the structure of the system is changed for the better ....minus coruption and corporate influence....if we the people are truly represented in some way..then ?what does it matter?..for right now it is good the smart people who help run ows dont let ANY party coopt the movement..be the change you want to see man be kind to everyone stay stong
However... the TEA party got what they wanted by challenging the Republicans in the primary. Every would-be real progressive politician who has no financial backing failed to win election due to people sitting on their butts instead of working hard doing retail politics.
Tommyghiorso, for a 17 year old, your voice needs to be heard. I hope you post more. There's a lot of forum sabotagers. These people are part of the problem. This group of people, which is large, are eventually going to be holding signs at Walmart. You need to keep your generations voice heard. You speak well, are up to date on issues. If you ran for president, I'd vote for you, HillyBillyWilly
