running around like maniacs. The kids are the corporations. But ignoring the mom that feeds them the sugar (congress).
A two pronged approach is what is needed.
And a public dismissal of Obama.
The politicians make or revise the laws by which the corporations do business and maintain their profitability. (which is why they always make generous re-election campaign contributions). So changing the corporate greed/structure will involve political work.
Yup, here is our semi-plan for a semi takeover http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Occupy-Congress/109181762526876
It should be called reform, because takeover sounds like a seize which is a forcible action, sounds heavyhanded. There is nothing wrong with running alternate candidates who have new or better ideas. It just has to be done within the peaceful process that exists now. Later on when those people are in office, then you can change the process, but to have millions of people march on Washington demanding they are going to "take" something is not going to be embraced by people who remember riots from the 1960's and do not want to relive that. Mention the riots in Watts, California to anyone from that time and area and they will most definitely tell you they do not wantto go thru that again.
Fair enough.
