For OWS, I think we should really focus on one foremost thing: the corrupt political system. Our corrupt political system is the root, Wall Street is a symptom. Without a fix to our political system. nothing will change.

Our demand should be simply: a campaign fund/political contribution reform. The political contributions from businesses and organizations should be eliminated or severely limited. Make laws that clearly state that corporations are not people and do not have the rights people have. In internet age, the cost for candidates to get their ideas out to people can be very low. For example, a dot gov platform can be created for them to express their ideas, answer questions, and get feedback from constituents and voters. Money should not be a big factor.

We can have other demands at the same time, but political system reform should be the most important and urgent. We should focus most of our energy on it!!!
