Do you think our founding fathers knew at the moment they signed the declaration of independence what kind of nation would develop? Do you think they asked themselves what would this all mean? I doubt it. I doubt they realized how much of an impact their actions would have on the world as a whole. The impetus of the wall street movement to me, is the younger generations "fed upness" with the current state of American government and its complete and utter corruption from lobbyists and corporations. These corporations and lobbyists are not interested in the 99% of Americans. They are working for and doing the dirty work of the 1%. The super rich are getting super richer and there are few things that they do not control. What we need is the removal of the special interests from our government. Unlimited donations to PACs and SuperPACs have exerted a horrible influence in our governmental system. A government and its elected officials should not be influenced by vast somes of money and a vast demand to always be "electable". Our politics are dominated by money and the perpetual campaign. Peter King (R-NY) has said we shouldn't allow OccupyWallSt to get legitimacy. I think it needs to get legitimate, it needs the media attention, not just the media attention where is it characterized as "unfocused" and "extreme left-wing". The Media and those that fund their proganda are afraid and we need to keep up the pressure. It is time for Americans to stand up and say enough is enough. That now is the time for Americans to take the power back and give it to all Americans. Not just those with money and power. It is time for the money and campaigning to stop and the Occupy Wall St movement is exactly what the doctor ordered to cure our ailments.
