I am a young college graduate, I received great grades growing up, my father told me to work hard to achieve my goals, I say my prayers and pray every day that I will get to live the life that I want. The next step of my plan is to move to a large city to get the job I want which does not exist where I live. Sadly the only job I can find is for a customer service representative of this multi million dollar company of that company. Guess what, trying to pay my student loans, paying my rent, keeping gas in my car to get to work and food I do not have money for anything else let alone moving. If America is the land of the free, Why do I feel like a slave? Yes I get to go home to my beautiful girl friend, but I spend half of my waking life bothering people like myself for their money which they dont have so I can make millionaires millionaires.. I make just enough to cover my loans plus interest. America does not want people to succeed, America wants its citizens to shut up and get back to work so we can make it more money. Its sick, my family likes to sit down and talk about how great being republican is, they are idiots by the way, as they are sitting in a tiny house eating chips while their vehicles are are not even worth the amounts they owe on the loans. I would love to say I am republican or democrat but honestly it doesnt matter. They both have the same goals and are owned by the same companies. Politics in this country are just a reality show for people over 50. We are slaves because we work and work and the same people take and take. This country needs real change, change in that we should not rely on billionaires to invest their easily made money to create jobs. Obviously it does not work. Why does WF get a 15 billion dollar bailout so they can hire more customer service collection reps to take my money. Why do people believe billionaires deserve to be billionaires? Because they are smart? No, its because they were raised rich and had enough money to go to Harvard. I am no longer interested in being a slave to a billionaire that has no clue how to do real work. A billionaire that rights off bad debts on subsidiary companies then claims bankruptcy. A billionaire that lays off thousands to protect the bottom line. A billionaire that has enough money to give every person in America a million dollars and still be a billionaire. Instead I have to waste my life grubbing money. America is quickly becoming Russia of the late 1800. I pray that does not happen. Last night watching police officers, the people I was brought up to trust, arrest peaceful protesters in the same situation as myself, made me sick. America today is wrong. I am not a slave and thats why I am American. We are not yet free but we are brave and thats why I occupy.

Although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:
