Get the money out
Oct. 16th, 2011 10:51 pmSo, here's the thing. Down at the Occupy locations, lots of people with lots of voices are speaking up. Lots are saying all sorts of things. Some are using this one moment to bring forth their pet solution to all the world's problem. Socialism, sustainable living, animal rights, drug law reform, death penalty reform, civil rights, etc. etc. etc. People are all over the spectrum on what the fuck is happening, and how it needs to change.
The thing is, though? What's happening is that our government in the US has it's fingers in pies all over the fucking world. Our financial institutions are all twisted the fuck up in everyone else's finances. We've taken down so many other countries with our bullshit, and we're continuing to do so.
How can we change that?
This is the true One Demand. We need to take the money out of politics. There is no way forward down this path that we are on without this step. After that, we can figure out where the fuck we're going. We can get some equality happening. We can get an actual fucking representative government happening. We can do all sorts of shit. First, we have to do this. We have to get the money out.
