Asking the right questions-this is imperative for the sustainablility of a good movemnet. Here is a good one for you-what does this movement make you want to do more of ? Make no mistake this is very much a why do I exist kind of question, but any plan/tactics are frutiless without the right answers and our anwers open the doors to our survival they don't JUST populate prisons.
It's been said that this movemant was inspired by the arab spring. As an american I'm energized by a more local action but you must still look to the arab movement only to see what can be learned from there successes not failures. Then apply that knowledge so there is reciprocity and knowledege doesn't become your undoing. So what were they trying to do more of that they were actually willing to die for?
May God help us with the answers.
I watch with a degree of humor at the sight of the 60’s wannabes parading around the various cities throughout the country. They want justice! The thing is most of these “deprived” members of society have never contributed either by taxation or participation to their country; that is, the protesters that are even from this country.
With most of their signs coming from a professional printing company one can easily only determine that there is a force or groups that are backing this so called spontaneous outburst for “equality”. So who are the backers; could it be the unions, move-on, act up, or perhaps the Obama administration?
Being a professional protester, professional student, or a professional anti mainstream participant in life will produce what one reaps; nothing! Oh, yes, your education loans are too high. Maybe those who cannot afford to payback what they took never should have been allowed the luxury of a higher education or the luxury of sitting around on their backside to contemplate their navel for however many years they are able to drag out the ritual.
Payback is hell, welcome to the real world. Since your high priced education has failed to enlighten you beyond the ability to sit around listening to yourselves pontificate pure babble, please take a look at this YouTube discussion on Greed. http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=youtube+milton+friedman+and+phil+donahue
Corporate Free Speech There needs to be better corporate representation. Money is speech. Every individual, even individual stockholders, "ownership," has a right to free speech. Free speech means no one can force or prevent an individual's speech. Ownership has the right to direct the corporation's speech and political contributions. Majority control of contributions may violate an individual's free speech. Corporate management can speech for the corporation, but ownership needs to authorize that speech. No speech or money spent on political contributions may be made without ownership authorization and such contributions must be taken from the individual's dividends. No dividends means there is no allowance for contributions. Corporate management must poll the ownership to determine the amount and placement of all individual stockholder directed contributions. The assignment of all corporate contributions must be made public so that ownership can verify the correct placement of their contributions. Management can not make contributions on the behalf of nonresponsive ownership and thus can only make contributions for which they have been directly authorized.
Money is speech. Corporations are people, because people get the money. Free speech means people are not forced to pay for someone else's speech. Corporations may not force to pay or deny dividends, to a person who does not approve of money spent on speech. Corporations may only spend money on speech that is taken, by approval, from the people who get the money. Every person who gets money, from the corporation, must approve the money spent on speech, in order to protect the right to free speech. Since the money spent on speech is identifiable with a person then that money is subject to caps associated with that person and must be reported. Also, tax consequences flow, to each person, for tax exempt contributions. If the corporation feels that the cost of polling and reporting the money spent on speech is prohibitive, then the corporation is prohibited from spending on speech. Corporations spend money on product ads and any political placement in a product ad must have unanimous consent of ownership.
