Consumers. You will get no relief from the corporations

that run the most corrupt country in the world anytime soon. Whether that relief be from perpetual war, a for profit healthcare delivery system, or the push for declining wage structures for workers. It's going to have to get so bad and the reasons unable to escape the propaganda holding it all together before that can happen. In the meantime, be ready to make sound judgements when that day comes decades from now. Some of us will not be around to see it.

OWS is attacked from all sides. The DHS coordinated the response nationwide. Run by Napolitano and directed from the White House. The GOP right in the mix. Now no mention of the 1%. Just when people were starting to wake up. Oh well.

He is author of "Corporations Are Not People-Why They Have More Rights Than You Do And What You Can Do About It". That gave me some hope awareness will spread. The problem is the vested interests and the politicians aren't going to give up this pay to play system without a fight. They have the resources. People are going to have to find the will.
