No.
We need to fix the political system before we fix what is IN the political system.
We cannot fix the political system without fixing the financial system first. The financial sector owns the political system.... Why do you think it is that what ever candidate raises the most money always wins? the money largely isnt from the public it is from the banks and wall street whom evr plays ball will recieve the nod to be president.
You fix the financial system( capitalism) so it works properly after you fix the political system after you divide the money from politics. But you cannot divide the money from politics and not fix the political portion or they will just sneak it back in later when everyone goes home.
Their are to many things that need fixed financially.You would have to protest for years.
The goals, in my opinion, need to be:
1) Remove the money from politics. Make it bribery and treason to accept money in any other way than the way the 99% specify.
2) Make the politicians represent the people. Politicians should not have ideologies.They should be voting only how they are told to vote by the majority.
3)You need to create a way for the people to keep tabs on what it govt is done. My suggestion is an independent agency elected by the people. This agency has top level security clearance and can monitor all aspects of govt. They then report to the people via a transparency website.
Wall Street and the Fed are the biggest political contributors out there the Fed makes profit off of every dollar printed. The Fed is a private organization started in 1913 look at how many recession and depressions we have since encountered. Our dollar is worth 4cents compared to the dollar in 1913. The Fed controls the government not the other way around. When you control the supply of money you control the nation and yet you think you can make the puppet control the master? “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”~ Thomas Jefferson
End the Federal Reserve works for me but its a hard sell to most people who don't pay attention because of how it works to bolster corporations and fat cats isn't obvious and requires thought. Are we up to educating so many people about it - I dunno.
Others issues are much easier to get across but the stopping the Federal Reserve will stop a lot of the insane activity and make it harder for corrupt politicians to hide. Its a tough fight but huge rewards so do we do that or easier fights with easier rewards first?
well said I feel that is why we're here for a tough fight
I agree with end the fed. Oh and lemme tell you this has been my favorite quote lately
thank you I like it as well
The banner is democracy. If the FED stands in the way, it will eventually fall. But it is not the banner in itself.
What banner? that banner was sold out years ago there is no democracy. Why is it that Reagan (rep), Bush Sr(rep), Clinton(dem),and Bush jr(rep), have all had the same head of the federal reserve? Which by the way isnt even a government agency it is a privately help company and like all privately held corporations there goal is to turn a profit. A profit paid by the sweat of hard working Americans. The presidents are elected or removed bu the influence of the Fed. So if you vote Democrat or republican it doesnt matter its just a token vote. It doesn't matter which puppet you pick because the Fed controls them all. Where is the democracy in that? We need to get the banks out of the governing process.
What i meant is once we fix our government to represent us, not moneyed interests, we can then vote to end the FED, absorb it, or whatever people choose to do. Right now we can't, because we are not represented.
We cannot fix a government that is owned by monetary interests. DO you understand the culture of Washington? For ten thousand dollars anyone can get five minutes of face time with a freshman congressman to " tell them your concerns" This goes up significantly the more power they have and the more that you"want to ensure your concerns are properly understood" Wall Street has the highest number of lobbyists. Last year in 2010 there were a total 12964 lobbyists who contributed a total of $3.51 billion to various Washington politicians. Now your telling me that the politicians are suddenly going to listen to a bunch of protesters and ignore the vast amounts of wealth thrown at them? No we need to cut it of at the source. The federal reserve is a private corporation not public. Read about it and you will see how they profit off of every dollar printed and these days bail outs are big business.
