The whole country should join the protest, is the only way to stop wasting money on senseless wars. Health, education and having a job are human rights. One must fight for a direct, participatory democracy with free elections, automated and without cheating. Enough, that multinational corporations impose their policies and interests to the United States government. People are the most important and they are 99%, it is not fair that system works to benefit the 1% People must request a new constitution that is the product of the discussion of the American people, in this new constitution should ensure the health, education and the right to work are basic human rights, and establish a participatory and direct democracy. Should establish new rules for elections to be clean, with modern systems that avoid the pitfalls. Some South American countries have chosen modern constitutions, why can not USA?
Why hasn't the government followed the constitution America has right now?
Obama is "supposedly" a constitutional lawyer but has committed troops in undeclared wars?
The question in my opinion is what should be the purpose of personal wealth--Is it not possible that in order for us to move forward as a life form we must first come to the realization that true injustice does exist --and then decide how we will alter history--a blip or the beginning of something new--a beginning of a simple statement--We the people demand the the purpose of all wealth is for the betterment of all lives on this planet.
Exactly! But try to convey this rational message to the brainless money hungry bankers and politicians that they are extinguishing humanity. Greed is mental virus that disables the brain waves.
Your comment is correct, the wealth must be to improve society as a whole, not for a few millionaires become richer at the expense of society and the global environment
DEAR INDIVIDUAL READING THIS, What must we as people do to fight this grave injustice inflicted upon us, by the ones who lust for power? How can we end the reign of the wicked and immoral and mete JUSTICE upon the oppressors as we have suffered from their hands-their blood stained hands... An idea of REVOLUTION-no, the act of revolution enacted by the proletarians! Must we as individuals ,as is always done, remain pawns to these people, these monoliths that we alone as individuals cannot surmounted...I surmise that we are not ignorant to the woes inflicted upon us by their enormities? We must UNIFY! Unity will be the way in which we assert ourselves!...While I realize all are not are not without income or funds and many cannot unify with this growing movement do to reasons of possible opposition and they being the people I'm question who we oppose (Wall Street), and many have responsibility they must tend to that take precedence. We must rise and vanquish this behemothto restore the equilibrium, for when disturbed it causes much chaos and strife in the hearts of man( man being neutral to represent all genders) in his mind and when mans mind and soul are in chaos as many are they rise to vanquish the pestiferous wealthy. However we should not just target these individuals, each of us individually must confront the corruption in our hearts, how can we judge the corrupt and deem them so when we cannot be amenable for ourselves we will surely be deemed hypocrites as we will be.....I am not meaning to say that this protest is in any way unjust, for far too long have we suffered, I mean that we are expected to expiate our sins -assume our parts in the problems we face and how we may have caused it. Yes, the Bankers on Wall Street are corrupt in ways we don't have evidence of without an investigation. But as we suffer soshall they, for we will make it so. But what of our government I say, my fellow citizens do not neglect to Confront the complicit in this affair for the roots of corruption are deeply seated, we have silent enemies amongst us-be warned that although succession in our goals will happen we may face a greater threat to our rights granted unto us from birth be prudent and circumspect. Another issue I wish to address is the idea of mans continual corruption as all things will be permeated with this darkness Inside our hearts.......when a system is created it always deviates from the righteous path, for nations we have learnt of in our education are littered with tales of nations that became corrupt and faded Into the ruin of collapse, we know that a society without corruption is utterly inconceivable, impossible in ways each and everyone of us know...for as long as men exist so shall our inner evil....but I digress from my original Intent of this passage and I ask forgiveness as we must forgive all in all eventual....the rising potentiality of this movement is quite an astonishment, I thought we were not capable of such things and thus I admit I had less faith in my fellow man. I see that we have all come to the realization of the need to bring the greedy to justice, although the reasons for your protesting may be unique to you, you share many goal, I had prognostications, inklings seems more appropriate of a term, that one day man would wake to realize the greater truth outside of his/her reality, and break the cycles of obsession with superficial base needs and trite motives, a dull and predictable lot we were but we've surpassed that I hope....for if not we will founder and fall Into the patterns we had grown so accustomed to, living such prosaic pedestrian lives stultified by the elite and of our own ignorance we always have the means to educate ourselves in this age, we have no limits to what we may learn based on our status in society, the powerful can no longer succeed in keeping us stupefied we have freewill to reason and learn and form our own ideas, ideas that would otherwise have died by the hands of the bigots! Our endeavours shall be crowned with fruition of our goals for our will allows it, we have broken free from the will of the oppressors.... part...now it is your turn...as Desmond Tutu stated "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

That which you raise in your comment is to return power to the people, a way to return power to the people is to establish participatory democracy in a new constitution, as opposed to representative democracy. Do not choose leaders who represent the people, but leaders who manage the people's decisions, that can be set to a new constitution
There's the text and discussion board there: http://lawdelta.org
Having a job is my human right
Having a car is my human right
Having a free college education is my human right
Having a HDTV is my human right.
GIVE ME! GIVE ME! GIVE ME! I want more free stuff
Job - yes,
Car - no,
Education - yes,
HDTV- no,
You're crazy. Free HDTV, ha ha ha.
A right is not to get things for free, education is the only way a poor person can be overcome, health is a right that should be enshrined in the constitution and the government should guarantee it. Every human being should be entitled to a job. To a mind trained in capitalist values is very difficult to understand these principles
So tell me how you would logistically supply a job to every person regardless of their work ethics since you deem it a human right? I am very curious. Sounds like it would end up being some form of communism to me. So please tell me....
It is not necessarily communism, trying to establish a capitalist system with a human face and social responsibility which consider the needs of the people, not a system where everything is a commodity, even jobs fot people. The orthodox communist system does not work, it is shown, but neither neoliberalism works
