Don't fuck this up. This is about corruption. Don't make this about everything y under the sun. You guys need to fight the corruption. People think (everyone I asked, then had to explain why the protest are happening) people think you are waging a war against the success of america. And your fighting because you are a have not and want more than your worth.
This is not the case. I haven't seen one protesters sign that said corruption, out jail the bought and paid for officials. Please for my sake, protest that the bankers need to be jailed along with the elected oddballs that forced the loans on the cohorts and less fortunate, knowing they would default, and knowing they would maitre fat bonuses because they bet the losing side also. its inside trading with our money.
Its fucking bullshit, and we need to get pissed off about the corruption, and outsourcing of our jobs and dismantle the current corrupt system.
Don't make this about save the whales and save the forest UNTIL we deal with the corrupt core of it all. Until that happens we will get nowhere.
Please do not give up please..... I'm sure I'll be in L.A. soon to protest the right way.
Gl new york,
I would like to bump this.
I am pissed because celebs think they have something in common with us.
This is about greed which is the cause of corruption. This is about the rich flaunting their wealth in front of the rest of us, this is about politicians being bought off. This is about our tax monies given to corporations which, in turn, give money back to the politicians. This is about the war industry. It's about GREED.
this is absolutely right. These things need to be brought to the forefront of the argument, not "were mad at people who make money cause we don't"
that last message is killing the movement, because there are plenty of firefighters, police and such who make 100K + a year and would gladly help if they knew the basis of for which your protest was just.
Its just so blurred ( the message) and it WILL fizzle out unless you point out the criminal activities that brought us here.
the media is doing a fantastic job of discrediting us to the rest of the un-knowing population because it looks as if were protesting success, not corruption.
I'm pissed that Apple outsources so many jobs
Then let them know, and send them letters , dont buy apple products, but if your protesting it Let whomever know why apple are pieces of shit. Not just cause " they have all the money and I want some too" it takes away all the validity of the momentum, the movement and jeopardizes everything.
Don't let that happen. Please, for me and the rest of us.
I don't know what movement you are in, but I'm part of the OWS and I want free stuff. I want free healthcare and loan forgiveness. Student loans first and then mortgages, car loans etc. I'm for success - mine. Society creates and owns all wealth and society decides how its distributed. Why should we let a few people hoard all of what society created?
Ok, let the corrupted gov. Know, Go ahead and let them help you with that. You have no shot with big companies pouring billions into the voting process to elect specific officials to serve out their agendas. Not the peoples.
Go ahead and wait for obama to fix it. good fucking luck. We need to revamp everything in congress and big gov, because its corrupt and bought and paid for.
We'll just throw out the current politicians and put us in place. See? Easy. There is no voting in a revolution.
