Anyone seen a mission statment from these protesters?

Venting frustration. Understandable, but totally ineffective.
Here's why, IMO:
They are protesting the wrong people and groups. Think about it.
Your CPA or tax return preparer will advise you to take every legal
deduction available to you on your individual tax returns.
Those legal deductions (and legal loopholes) are legislated and
determined
by ...... guess who?
Business tax returns and rules governing Wall Street operations are also
subject to legal deductions and loopholes,
legislated and determined by ...... guess who?
The protesters are targeting the wrong groups. The group that should be
protested and voted out of office are the career
politicians in DC who determine and write the rules that individuals,
banks,
businesses and Wall Street are subject to.
These corrupt politicians .... on both sides of the political
spectrum ....
have established too many IOU's over their "careers"
and have muddied the waters with BS to cast the blame on everyone
else other
than themselves.
And we are stupid enough to believe them and continue to re-elect them.
You don't get it. They are protesting the "system."
Part of the system is the Wall Street bought pols getting re-elected.
Where do you get the idea they don't despise the current politicians?
And do you really think most of these people have a CPA, or have enough
income to worry about tax dodges?
What they have is debt and no prospects for a good job.
The protesters have avoided having a political agenda.
That's a good move. Nearly all the pols are bought, so will turn
against them with a vengeance.
For example, 3 new free trade bills just passed Congress a few days ago.
Those trade bills will cost the U.S. hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Who lobbied most for these bills?
Citibank, big pharma, and big agriculture. Wall Street.
Who voted for the bills?
Democrats and Republicans.
The so-called "socialist" President, Obama, will sign them into law.
So we'll soon have Hyundais and other Korean products for sale here that
are produced by North Korean slave labor of Kim Jong-il.
Panama, a premier tax shelter haven, will be able to tax shelter more
U.S. corporations and other wealth with added treaty protections.
The system is broken.
I can't agree with you more .... and I *do* get it. I just didn't
emphasize the
Big Business/Wall Street collaboration with the pols enough. The corrupt,
career office holders in DC are the enablers of the so called corporate
greed.
Put some honest people in to replace them and we'll start solving the
problems.
The pols may be bought, but *we* elect them. There are a few on my short
list,
but since it exists on both sides of the fence .... Dems and Republicans
.... I'll
refrain from getting into a debate about specific individuals. Suffice
to say,
the whole Congress needs a major cleanup.
But someone else with money picks the supporters that will elect their
choices to the ballot.
The ruse of democracy and party politics, the game is rigged, the house
always wins.
People are conditioned to vote for a party starting grade one. G12
brainwashes Democrats and Republicans are the only choices. So the
corrupt can influence government by supporting their man on the inside,
1/2 the corrupt work the democrats, the other half the republicans.
It is why the house always wins and the people always loose. Can't even
recall Obama, he is a 4 year term dictator.
