We all know that in 2008 there was a major, and ongoing, economic crisis. This crisis lead to mass unemployment and huge financial loss.
As the representatives of Occupy Wall Street, what do we propose to do about the financial crisis. -Bank Regulation? -Government Run Rating Agencies? -Less Corporate Rights? -No more bonuses for bailed out companies?
What do we propose to do?
Cut up all your credit cards...really that is all it would take. Wall Street would have a shit fit.
Create a new world order. The old system cannot be fixed because it already is.
The people on Wall Street made the mess. They should fix it. Its our job to keep reminding them of that.
create government jobs in health care and alternative energy
ban all but U.S. Citizen money in political campaigns or issue advertising, directly or indirectly, ban lobbyist money for any political issue, person or goal..with jail terms... cap contributions for campaigns and all campaigns combined, remove non human citizen rights.... if we remove the legal bribery from our political system.... honest governance has a chance to return and it is clear that the American people have the common sense to solve problems...it would return their voice to our way forward
Do you even consider this to be possible? What would be the first step to set off this chain?
and we should also add some body of lottery selected american citizens who would form a body annually to review the effectiveness of the amendment to keep money out of our politics and to make recommendations to the Congress to define what is in violation of the spirit of the amendment... haven't thought a lot about this but here is what I know.. HOW can our system not become corrupt again if the BENEFACTORS in congress are IN CONTROL of the rules on political money? It is an impossibility, it needs to be permanently removed from any standard gov't or bureaucratic control.
it is my hope that corruption and the removal of the agents of corruption $$ etc , direct and indirect, become the sole focus of the OWS. Truth is.. this is the single issue which truly HAS 99% support. Here was my first stab at it. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.occupywallst.org%2Fforum%2Fa-real-amendment-to-permanently-ban-of-influence-f%2F&h=UAQENADphAQGc1TZFZbA-ogRBsmKCp0ix4HIw-IA40R8y0A
