I'm confused, your movement is against the wealthy and the American corporations but you say nothing about the wealthy democrat politicians who have so much power over the people. In the last election Wall St gave two times more to Obama versus McCain and your movement said nothing. Obamas cabinet is full of ex Wall St execs and your movement says nothing. Obama stated that he needs to raise a billion dollars for his 2012 election and your movement says nothing. Seven out of the top ten wealthier members of Congress are democrats and you say nothing. Corporations are not your biggest problem, democrat politicians who take your votes and exert power over you are your biggest problems.
The President and Democratic politicians are included by default.
Yes, Obama is in the pocket of Wall St. Where is anyone saying that he is not?
I do disagree that "democrat politicians" are our biggest problem, though. They are "part of" the problem. So are Republican politicians.
There are many crooks in Democratic party also and everybody knows it. Some are misinformed like Obama.
But again you say nothing about the corruption from Washington and the Obama administration. Obama and The CEO of GE, Jeffery Imelt are in bed together and you say nothing. GE paid zero in federal income taxes last year.
The GOP and the Tea Party are even worse, concentrate on them
Yeah, that makes sense. Focus on 1/2 of the problem. That's how all problems are solved - by assessing blame, and not getting to the root of fixing the ENTIRE problem... Oh yeah, that's also the best way to make sure you only get half the support too... You just don't get it -- you could get a ton more support -- if you focused on the right things and the right ways -- instead, your comments empower all of the left and completely isolates anybody on the right and turns off independents like me. Good comment there.
Democrats are not the answer. You are wrong to suggest that we don't say anything about them. We're opposed to the corruption of the two-party system generally, and that means both parties.
You said it GammaPoint. Everything that Verve claimed isn't being addressed, IS THE BASIS OF THIS MOVEMENT! That's it! That's what we're protesting against! We're protesting against the cozy relationship between corporate and government, the privatization of profits and socialization of losses. Government and Wall Street are in this together. That is what we're protesting.
