Again - we agree - at least to a point. I don't think corporations, pac's, unions or anything (or anyone) else that can't walk into a voting booth and "pull a lever" should be able to give one dime to a politician - or run a political ad.

The problem is - its not just wall street. You going to be willing to bust the unions who put millions of dollars into the hands of politicians when the money came from members who may not support the person? You going to be willing to tell every PAC that exists that they have to shut down?

And lets not forget -taking the money out of wall street will impact us ALL in a very negative way - wny not just put a dividing wall between wall street, unions , PAC's etc? Because the POLITICIANS won't allow it.

The POLITICIANS take the money.
The POLITICIANS make the laws.
The POLITICIANS screw the people.

Seems the root of the problem is the POLITICIANS! And that goes for both "parties"! So why are we all, black, white, yellow, polkadoted, liberal, conservative, OWS, Tea Party, etc - not focusing on where the real problem is?

Because the establishment is pulling the strings on groups like OWS. They are using them to deflect blame away from the politicians. The only reason the left gets more grief is because they have been the ones in power for a little while. Which is why they are using OWS. Its not the OWS'ers fault - they are just following the line they were given - without using critical thinking. Its easier to blame than think.

THINK - and you will see the problem isn't the "left" or the "right" - the problem is those who have used the play off the other side to consilidate their power to the point where people refuse to see the real problem.

RENO!
