We, The PEOPLE Must Start A PEOPLE'S BANK and Our Own Trade Unions


>>>>>>>>>>We Must Start A PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT!<<<<<<<<<<<
The image of the "Rich Getting Richer On The Backs Of The Poor" might be a cartoon but there's nothing funny about it's message. The Middle Class and Poor, the 99% of THE PEOPLE are the WAGE SLAVES and INDENTURED SERVANTS of the 1% of the Rich! That sadly sums up the lives of We,The People in America and the World! But in reality, if We The People UNITE, we have the resources to change the Balance of Power in America and the World. No, I am not talking about adapting a Communist or Socialist type of Government or Economy. I am talking about a Democratic Capitalist system of Government that is RUN BY and CONTROLLED by THE PEOPLE! This is NOT a fantasy or a pipe dream. This is an idea that is POSSIBLE AND DOABLE but we ALL must first realize the problem and BAND TOGETHER to bring about its solution...a solution that puts the PEOPLE BACK IN CONTROL OF THEIR OWN LIVES AND DESTINY! The plan is a simple one and will work because of the sheer Mathematics behind it. There is no LYING in Mathematics! Taken as a WHOLE, We, the PEOPLE have MORE MONEY, MORE VOTES and potentially MORE POWER than the now most powerful 1%. The solution lies in our BANDING TOGETHER OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE'S RESOURCES and using our ENORMOUS FINANCIAL and SOCIAL POWER to COMPETE and eventually PREVAIL over the richest 1%. All we need to do is RECOGNIZE the problem that we are living with and get off our collective butts to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We should not be the PAWNS of the rich. We should be the Kings and Queens of our own lives and destiny! What would happen if We The PEOPLE pooled all our resources? We would mathematically have more money that the richest 1%. For example We, The People could start our own "PEOPLE'S BANK" with favorable policies toward ALL of the People, NOT policies that make the rich richer! We can form a POWERFUL FINANCIAL AND BANKING SYSTEM that puts the PEOPLES NEEDS FIRST rather than a system where the rich have made every one of us their INDENTURED SERVANTS and WAGE SLAVES! We the People are currently ALL IN DEBT to the richest 1%. We must realize the fact that the rich are TRYING TO OWN US! They want to BUST OUR UNIONS, TAKE AWAY THE MINIMUM WAGE, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OUR SCHOOLS and other institutions that help us get by. And by doing so they will make us SO DESPERATE that WE WILL WORK FOR ANY WAGE and succumb to their evil plan to CONTROL AND DOMINATE US! If we all pooled or ENORMOUS COLLECTIVE RESOURCES we could also start our own TRADE UNIONS and FACTORIES which would give us the Power and Leverage to BARGAIN and NEGOTIATE OUR OWN TRADE AGREEMENTS and CREATE GOOD PAYING JOBS FOR ALL OF US! In the past great ideas have failed because the people who institute the change become too powerful and as we all know that all too often "Absolute Power Corrupts, Absolutely." That is why we must choose people wisely who will help with this movement. I believe people like Robert Reich, Paul Krugman, Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren and the like could help give WE The PEOPLE the INCITE and KNOWLEDGE to help us reach our goals. I'm not writing this for you to merely say "You know this guy has some good ideas but it's just a dream and can't be done." I'm writing this to START AN ACTUAL MOVEMENT! Such a Movement is LONG OVERDO. I cannot do it alone. You cannot do it alone, BUT TOGETHER ALL OF US CAN DO IT AS A POWERFUL UNIFIED VOICE...WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD STAND FOR SOMETHING and not be just empty words! Let's DO THIS! Here is my e-mail address: marvinr5612@gmail.com. If you want to get this movement going please email me with your thoughts and suggestions and contact all your friends and loved ones. WE, THE PEOPLE must realize that WE HAVE THE POWER!
