I don't believe we will get out of this without major violence. I think it has gone too far already. I also think that the only way it will end is the wealthiest turning on each other. Corporations fighting for a larger piece of the pie and those that run it not accepting taking the second largest piece.

Regardless of how the scales level out, nothing will happen without ridding the world of Citizens United and other such groups. Without taking the power from the wealthy by having fair elections, public funding, etc.

However it ends, I hope O'Leary loses. Better yet, is lost.

Very well done! K & R! punkin87 Feb 2014 #1
