Occupy Wall Street

Dear Folks, This is a historic time, The anti-wall street movement is very understandable. We middle class people have now for thirty years lost our status as the core of any democracy and the authentic basis for a solid economy. Why because we use our money for goods and services, which makes us customers and a which causes industry large and small sell and so hire more workers. But when l percent of our population owns 40 percent of the wealth, comparable to the lowest l50,000,000 million of us, we have been significantly diminished in both voice and spending power. So what is happening all over the country is what is happening all over the world when autocracy drowns out the voices and the hopes of a people. This is a legitimate surge of strength and energy, that frightens the power brokers and their political supporters such as Erik Cantor who called the protesters a "MOB." These folk in Congress and also Fox News said this also of the people in Egypt, and other awakened populaces. We are no longer sitting home alone. We have found a common voice, that first must get the attention of those in power and then must lead to policy changes. They must be big ones: change in the electoral process in which candidates both in Washington and in the States receive public money in elections. This will offset the Supreme Court decision that opened up unlimited monies for corporations to win elections, which they won in droves in 20l0 in states. This is it. Spread the word. I believe the internet has a declaration from the Wall St Protestors. John G
