Am I totally against capitalism? No. Economically it probably is one of the best practices, when working correctly. Now though, it is not working like it's supposed too. The wealth between the top 1% of the nation and the other 99% is roughly the same as it was during The Great Depression.
Forbes posted a story about the 147 companies that control everything that you can read here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/bruceupbin/2011/10/22/the-147-companies-that-control-everything/
There was also an infographic showing how much CEO's made per hour compared to their employee's per hour. This is going off memory and I dont expect you to believe me, I just cant seem to find it again but here's what I remember:
1970: CEO $45/hour Employee: $1/hour
Today: CEO +1200/hour Employee: $1/hour
National banks have screwed you over. They charge +18% interest while they only offer, maybe 1% interest on savings, charge you fee's to use YOUR money that YOU worked for. If you need to use a bank pull your money out of the national bank and put in a local credit union or local bank. They work for YOU, not the investors on Wall St that only want to take your money and send your jobs out of the country.
If a company decides to send a job out of the USA they should be penalized as it takes away jobs from hard working American's causing a failure in our economy.
I am supporter of the "Occupy Movement". I am a part of the 99%. Btw, all the people who say you aren't a part of the 99%, news flash, unless you have an adjusted gross income that puts in the top 1% of EARNERS, then you are. The 99% represents the rest of us who don't qualify for that stat. You may not agree with everything the 99% represents and that is okay. I believe they are trying to wake American's and the world up to what is really happening, hence why all of these offshoots are springing up throughout the WORLD.
Oh, and for the haters who want to say get up and get a job here's my response: I do have a job and I do go to school, full time. 20 hours at that this semester.
"House of Representatives"
If you know me, you know I have a a very strong distaste for politics which makes this thought process all the more illogical, or maybe logical. The thought process is of running for House. Campaign strategy? Use facebook/twitter/youtube completely to engage as I do not have the financial ability to travel and therefore would not use taxpayers money.
If you aren't sure where I stand, ask.
American politics are open to the American people, not just career politicians. Lets take back OUR government!!!
Again, this is purely theoretical right now, just throwing the thought out there. What do you think?
