the only thing that matters right now is CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM, unless you get the big money out of politics, no change whatsoever will occur, this should be the focus of the protests, we need to have honest politicians that work for the public before any thing else can get done, campaign finance reform (ending corporate personhood, kicking the lobbyists out of the Washington) is the perfect starting point. It really is a no brainer that this should be the one thing we can all agree on. Because unless we do this, all those other demands that people have will never be addressed, not in a millions years.

  1. A free mansion for me filled with 1000 servants
  2. A fleet of jets for me like that fat ugly bitch who owns ketchup
  3. Two Ferrari cars. One must have rims. The other is for this nurse friend of mine from another thread who asked for one.
  4. A bitchin' Camero with an epic stereo system.
  5. A pink shirt and feather boa for pissedoffconstructionworker.
  6. Free college for me.

Also, we should make all the bankers wear monocles and pinstriped suits so we can identify and scapegoat them easier. It would be just like we did in ancient WW2 times with the star of David, only much more fashionable. Retro is in right now.

Please expand. Thanks. I think a monetary system is a good thing but not when people are bending it to their will and using it in a corrupt manner.

precisely my friend. we have witnessed for centuries the decay of solid values by greed and social status. people will always find a way to control the money. control the money control the power. we as people have no forseeable option to actually gain control of the money its a stalemate. you can protest till you are blue but i can assure you that congress does not care, the corporatocracy doesnt care, the government does not care because they understand what i understand. they have the money and people want the money, not the freedom, they want power not progress. and the only way we can take that power is to not give it power. We need to organize and set a public burn date to collective burn every form of currency world wide in the largest demonstration in history to achieve the goals by OWS and the rest of the world. Trust and believe this is the only way. you can talk about controlling spending and budgeting and massive government cut backs but that is the fantasy. the illisuion people have that they can control corruption is almost laughable, if it wasnt so sad. we dont need money to survive or thrive, it is not essential to our lives at all for survival, spiritual or mental growth. they have made you believe that we need some form of money and if you continue to believe that then they are still winning.

Right now, the 1% control the resources through use of money. If you take away all money, someone will get direct control of the resources. If you do this on a global scale, you will have someone--some group--controlling all resources globally. You may propose a system that will ensure 'fairness' in distribution, but ALL systems are susceptible to corruption. In all of human history, there has never existed a system free of an immune form corruption. Thesis the big problem I see with TZM.TVP/Resource Based Economy theory. When such a system becomes corrupt, how do the 99% regain control when the corrupt control the food, water, and energy resources of the entire planet?
