I’m with Ellen Kirkland.  I like the way she thinks.
The government is broke however, doesn’t apparently know or care, yet.  Leaders doing nothing.
President campaining.
No money in, no money in their wallets,no money out.

Wouldn’t her plan show the WORLD that the American people do not support the decisions of our leaders.
Let’s show the world, without violence but with determination, dedication.  Redeem our reputation?
Our children and future generations would be so proud of us for MAKING THE “CHANGE” WE ALL WANTED and never came close to getting, from those we trusted.
As a small business owner, I almost choke as I write out checks to the State & Feds.  I want to give all that money to my employees!

Matt Taibbi broke this months ago in rolling stone.This is what happened to Greece, Spain and all the other idiots who believed that the Wall St. 1% were there to help them, when all they were there to do was help themselves to everyone elses money. Finance has gotten so out of control. They couldn’t make enough betting on companies making a profit, so they got laws created to remove the safeguards on commodities trading, sucking money from the worlds poor. Derivatives were unregulated because, according to Greenspan (Ayn’s little acolyte) only professionals would be dealing in these products, tell that to the government professionals who sank their countries in CDS’s and CDO’s.

The Euro is tanking and all these guys sit around and clink their champagne glasses while OWS builds around them. If this attitude of screw everyone but us continues, as most of us history buffs know, it will spark a revolution of bloody proportions with massive casualties on all sides. ASK Louis XVI about that.It is such a shame that we purged the balancers of fascism from the ranks of the allowable opines. We trashed the Communists and the Socialists but we never trashed the Fascists (unless it had to do with German, Italian or Japanese ones) Once again, bad times bring out the skeletons we thought we purged. Ghosts of McCarthy, Straus, Rand echo through the congress, Birchers and flat-earthers re emerge into society, carrying the raving and drooling evangelicals in tow, dragging us kicking into the cave we came from when we created America in the first place. And I really don’t think that people dislike the rich, those who worked hard and made a great deal of money, but the dislike occurs from how they manipulated the government into passing laws that legalized certain types of fraudulent activity and are not being held accountable, laws that allowed passive income to be taxed at a lesser rate than actual work. This has been brewing for a while, OWS is just the beginning. Look to Alabama to see the future of our empire.

I think everyone and every municipality should file for bankruptcy and just say, screw the banks - its not real $$ anyway.  I applaud the county for saying screw you JP Morgan - we just can’t pay and we are not going to - you’ll just have to suck it up and take your licks like the rest of us. Every single citizen should stop paying mortgages, revolving debt, school loans - just stop. You want to know how to make your paycheck go farther, stop paying the blood sucking banks.  I had a roommate once whose entire paycheck went to debt service.  Literally, a debt slave working for the banks. You have probably paid back more in interest than you ever owed in the first place and in fractional reserve banking its all make believe anyway.
