5. Captitolism MUST Be REGULATED! That is Where We are Lost...

AS the MONEY in politics determines who will be SELECTED/elected, then the Wall Streeters carry the day. The greatest threat that we have seen was the Occupy effort. Wall Street was concerned because this process united people of all political persuasions predominantly against the excesses of Wall Street. It is only when the people are able to overcome their faux/engineered partisan divisions that WE become a threat to the status quo. CorporatistNation is coming.
