what would it take for us to start a corporation (501 c3). and instead of complaining about bank of america....pool our money together into this 501 c3 and buying their stock. we then become a major share holder. we get voting rights on whether the CEO is giving himself too many bonuses, etc. just an idea.
So tell me family now what do you think? Watch it all go down the great big sink. Watch how the scum it rises to the top. DOn't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep, serving the dodgy companies we keep. All kicking and scrounging for the very first place - dictionary defintion of a rat race. Pay off those losers we elect to lead. stealing from the mouths that we're meant to fee. Enslaving the very clothes upon my back, I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin
Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution already underway
Big heavy pirates man digging those holes, messing with something that they can't control. Trespassing lands where they don't belong, all I hear is screaming whee there once were songs. I got my brothers there fighting those wars, fighting over scraps and scraping their sores. Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold inside!
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise? Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake, open my fist my destiny I take! Good people sick and tired of being pushed around, we call them kings but I see no crown. Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? Say enough is enough is enough, enough!
Take back your feet, take back your hands, take back your words, take back your land. Take back your heart, take back your pride. Don't got to hide. Revolution!

I like the direction. You could go all the way and start your own bank, really take responsibility for it.
Pool our money, buy up real estate property rights, and burn up the deeds.
well ... close to solution... one problem is that as-is non-profits are not protected.. the gov can step in and take control when ever they want...
we need revolution (non - violent) so we can fix the mess
I don't like corporations personally.
