There always has to be someone against everything. May as well go tell all those people at wall street to go home to carry on being sheeple because even standing up for yourself and protesting only hinders everyone as well.
I am for Occupy, change is needed, doing NOTHING will bring no good, only harm, standing up for the people of your country will bring change, just no-ones sure what change it will be, but change is needed.

My solution is to somehow wake people up to the fact that private banks and multi-national corporations ARE THE GOVERNMENT. They control everything. What we have now is essentially corporate fascism. The corporate state, which is owned and controlled by a very small monopoly of people.
Traditional communism or totalitarianism certainly is not the answer. We need to dramatically downsize the government, so departments like the FDA can no longer approve drugs and foods that their corporate masters want approved, and competition not approved. We need legitimate capitalism at a more local level.
How we get there is beyond me. Like I said, when some of the last good paying jobs go overseas or are done by immigrants at 1/4 the wages and formerly middle class gun loving Americans end up jobless, homeless, cold and hungry, then you'll start seeing some legitimate protests, and they'll likely be violent. lets face the historical reality: major changes in history are accomplished through violence and war. It's how most countries, to include the United States, came to be.
JFK tried to take on the elite monied establishment and he died at the barrel of a gun.
I'm not advocating violence in ANY WAY, I'm just calling it like I see it.

Just hope everything works out in the end for your grandchildren, and their children and so on?
