What is the root cause of your protest? I want to understand.
Is it lack of a job? Is it lack of money? Is it lack of a cause? I saw one protester proclaim that they wanted more money for the 99%. Isn't that counter productive? I don't understand why you are protesting Wall Street. The unions have billions of dollars, and they are your supporters. Why not have the unions create thousands of jobs for you, and give you some of their money?
Here's how to get real reform: Term limits - 2 terms and gone, to limit corporations ability to corrupt. Line item veto - to allow a president to cut the pork. Force congress to be subject to the laws they pass. No waivers. Federal referendum.
Good ideas. Corporations don't corrupt, however. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. People by nature are corrupt.
