Hey protestors, I am in full support but it is time to start thinking of what you actually want. Many opposition groups are looking to push back by wondering what it is you want an using your free body system to make you seem lazy and disorganized.

here is something to look at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kelly-moore/occupy-wall-street-crackd_b_1067944.html

But is it that will fix this system?

Simple, taxation of property and ownership instead of taxation on income. It makes sense, make your millions, billions or whatever but pay your fair share of taxes for the countries social services. While removing the taxation of income, many low income employees will have more resources to keep up with bills and so on.

Also, copyrighting an idea is just ridiculous. a thought came to you free, it should be free. Supporting co-op organizations and allowing information like Microsoft's program language to be open source will not only produce a more fair competition in the marketplace, but create new innovations at an exponentially faster rate.

These are my ideas to create a fair an just economy. Where a person can actually get the proper amount of pay for the amount of work they do rather than simply making money of of their families wealth through investment with EXPECTATION of a profit return.

And remember, it is ultimately greed that has caused this fiasco, national debts kept it afloat for so long but it is time to realize this problem and change it.

Out of this collapse must emerge a quantum leap in representative government or we will end up with the same corruption and public apathy that we had before!!!!

Sadly for you the OWS leaders don't support what you said. You are in support of liberalism. They want to bring down the government and create a communist society.
