Forum Post: Clarity of Thought

I really appreciate what want to do and bring those to justice whom have evaded their patriotic duty to pay taxes and have exploited the less fortunate for far too long.

I wish I could be at one of those protests. But nonetheless I am too caught up in my college to be able to do so.

Still, if I were at a protest, I wouldn't be facing towards the building of some big corporation. Instead, I face my fellow protesters reminding them that we must have discipline if we are to suceed and must not succumb to anger or fear.

If I held a sign, then this would be its message:

"We are against those that abuse capitalism. We are not against capitalism itself."

We want those executives to yield to our will. But we must take care not to significantly cripple the companies that they manage (or if you prefer "taken hostage"). Even if those companies outsource a lot of jobs elsewhere, they still employ many people (people guiltless of their bosses' misdeeds) in the US. If the company is hurt, those employed will suffer for it and those people surely won't be rooting for us.

So I conclude, thanks for the progress so far and for progress yet to come.

Unless with have "discipline" in the form of military internet formations which potently project our purchasing and investment power, similar to the Tea Party, our movement will not succeed, which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive strategy, and related candidate, that implements all our demands at the same time, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

if you want to be 1 of 100,000 people needed to support a Presidential Candidate – such as myself or another you'd like to draft – at AmericansElect.org in support of the above bank-focused platform.

You see you should be able to come protest and not be penalized by college.

Right! Why the heck should you have to attend class and study...they should just hand out degrees to everyone who asks for one - that would be fair.

Dude if you fail a class for one day of school that is totally on you.

I'm just very busy. I'm not being penalized by anyone.

I just hope that someone will face their fellow protesters and hold up a sign with a similar message.

Thanks. :)

Also remind them that if they hurt the company itself, its many small wage working employees will be the ones to suffer, not the executives.
