This movement is for the future generations. If you are in the "middle" class or even "upper middle" class then think of what your children or grandchildren will be facing if people don't speak out. The super wealthy are planning on taking it all away from the future generations. If you are a policeman then take a good long look at your children or grand children and try to see what world they will have. You might be hanging on right now but that will not last for long. We need to stop the greed mentality now.
We are All of us children and thy know it
Yep, I came across this article http://www.ajc.com/business/georgia-ranked-among-highest-1230396.html
which obtained that information on the following site. Roll your mouse across a state to see where it ranks on the consumer distress level. http://www.credability.org/en/about-credability/media-center/Consumer-Distress-Index/default.aspx http://www.ajc.com/business/georgi
Amen!! If America does not wake up they will quickly find that their children are destined to become the 21st century version of the medieval "landless peasant." What we need is real capitalism, not the "crony-capitalism" that is becoming a form of "neo-feudalism." Current trends mean that children born today will have a lower standard of living than their parents.
Here is my 2 cents: For decades now the corporations and special interests have had our "representatives" bought and paid for (both on the right and the left). Don't get distracted by the symptoms - we need to address the root cause. Concentrating our efforts on getting the money out of our politics is the best way we can create an environment in which further reforms can be realized. Until we end the current system of legalized bribery (campaign donations) and paid lobbying our politicians will continue to be the LAP DOGS of the corporations and special interests. What we need first and foremost is real, loop-hole free CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM!!!! If the corruption is not dealt with first, the chance of any other meaningful reforms becoming a reality is almost zero - the special interests will just use their money to buy votes and put forward bills that create loop-holes or otherwise twist the law in their favor. If we want our children to live in a country where there vote matters, we need to get the money out of our politics!!! Spread the word - End the LEGALIZED BRIBERY!!! CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM needs to be THE main goal of the protests!!!
YES!!
And the same applies if you're a TROLL on this forum : this is about YOU too - and your friends and family and loved ones. THINK about that : What kind of America do you want to live in 5 years from now? 10 years from now? 20 years from now?
