Forum Post: OWS = Economic and Political Democracy

I am so grateful for OccupyWallStreet. What a robust foundation from which to re-ignite critical thought, discussion, debate and action in the United States.

Millions of Americans have fought and given everything to create a middle class. Without their sacrifices,we would have continued to be, as we were in the Gilded Age, a very few extraordinarily wealthy families, with everyone else extraordinarily poor. That is not democracy, nor smart competitive business/economic practice. Nor is that the American Way.

OWS is providing US citizens and residents with a dynamic opportunity to reclaim our American Dream.
