Over 30 years of de-regulation, globalization, and free trade agreements have turned the American Dream into a nightmare. While we in the United States blithely believed in corporate stewardship to lead us to a golden age, much of the rest of the world ardently sought to protect its national interests via currency fixing, tariffs, and information piracy. We, the working and middle classes of the Unites States, were duped by the false promises of both international governments and the wealthy class in this county that colluded with these organizations to subject the average American citizen to a gross double standard of opportunity--capitalism for the poor, socialism for the rich.
After 30 years of bastardization and hypocrisy, our beautiful American dream has become a pathetic hope for minimal healthcare provided to our grandparents, college education offered to our children at a price tag that they will be lucky to pay down by the time they retire, retirement benefits to the few who are fortunate enough to be worked to the bone for a menial 401k match. And opportunity, like a pray, is sung constantly into our ears--America may not have much, by golly, but what we do have is opportunity.
Are you kidding me? Opportunity exists--opportunity to pay banks bailed out by your money fees to use their debit cards and products, opportunity to pay egregious sales tax while the rich have a tax shelter for everything but their salt shaker, opportunity to kill yourself or emigrate if you don't like it.
This is our country and I think what you are doing is both just and noble. The government of the United States and these corporations owe their existence to the grace of the people; it is not the people who owe their existence or livelihood to either the government or these businesses. Long live the United States of America and may the people of the United States prosper either with or without Wall Street.
Exactly, for many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.
Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.
Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.
Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.
The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.
Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.
So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.
I am an artist and I have waited for this moment in history to occur and I am proud of the brave souls on the streets marching and protesting for a just society. The American dream was co-opted by Hollywood and made into a unreal unattainable goal that has sent most families to financial ruin. We need a better world not a world steered into oblivion by corporate greed, wars and oppression. The real dream has been hidden under the blanket of the lies of terrorism, free markets and a technology distracted/addicted society. Simplify our lives, create a dream that has no strings attached to giant corporations, build a society that knows it neighbors and the value system that is universally fair.
Exactly--People dream, corporations do not dream. Keep struggling!
