This is the problem: Everything. Why, when looking down this list of solutions do you see countless different ways to change the way Wall Street and a few elites are destroying us. --We must change this? Revolution? who knows. But what is for sure is that we must all come together, Republicans and Democrats alike apart of the 99%, and get rid of this problem. Political ideology has no place in this movement, because we must understand that we are in dire need of taking down something that is truly destroying Americans. heres some ways we can do this
- Stop listening to the 1%'s media
- Believe in the cause, and trust yourself. The masses are not necessarily always right
- Bring back the constitution, and build off of that. Only 39 of the required 55 people required to sign the constitution actually signed it. The constitution was incomplete, and it was open to manipulation
- Understand, relish, and inquire in history. This is the greatest learning tool of all. Jefferson, Lincoln, an Einstein all saw a corrupt undertone, and can be found in some of their famous quotes.
I can honestly say I sincerely believed in increasing government programs, such as health care, not that long ago(and by this i mean 2 weeks ago). But, I have honestly come to the conclusion that at this is not what we need. Do not misinterpret me, free health care is a very good thing, and im using this as an example to the broader picture, but, in our political system, the government is destroying the country, on vast and various different levels. I am tired of seeing things that can be good, such as health care, being passed with so many loopholes and earmarks that it counteracts anything genuine about it. This is not, and cannot, be a political affiliation. Occupy Wall Street must be a concept, or an idea, about the depletion of enormous corruption in our system as a whole.
If there is just one thing that i would want people to get out of what i am saying, it would be this: Research, study, and dare to Imagine and think about new concepts and ideas. Study our former intellects, and MAKE AN OPINION FOR YOURSELF! It is not enough to just believe in this cause, but it is essential, and critical, that you understand it fully. As Einstein once said, "information is not necessarily knowledge"
Being a leftist is seen as negative in this country...
Hard to do when this movement has been totally taken over by the leftists.
