21. Thank you for such an incitful response. But apparently you dont get the whole OWS thingy.
You say that you suggest "reform" in lieu whatever OWS is doing. Ok, I will bite. How do you suggest we get reform? Ask the corrupt Congress to reform themselves?
You say that we should use voting to fix the system. I guess you havent been paying attention to all the efforts the 1% is going to control elections. We cant count on having a fair and free election process. Your chant of "work with the system" is the same as the 1%. The system is rotten to the core.

There are only two sides in this class war. Apparently you choose the side of the 1%, same as the TeaBaggers.
