I didnt change anything, just asked a completely valid question. When someone uses a starting point for "nasty influence"(like 70 years) are we to assume that this was the starting point? Was money in politics not as influential beyond 70 years ago? |

Getting 400,000 people to withdraw money from big banks with bad practices in favor of credit unions last month. Getting the conversation changed from the false Republican "fix the deficit" nonsense, to the reality of income inequality and the nasty influence, over the past 70 years, of money in our politics."

![]() There is a storm coming and if folks in power don't wake up, they will reap the wild wind. Quote all the clever statistics you want, rejoice in the "brilliance" of the right's soundbites, in the end the scales will be balanced either by fairness and a sense of brotherhood or by blood. Phil Ochs wrote this years ago, dated but still a look into the near future if things don't change!

If you go on YouTube and search on "Occupy songs", lots of newly written good "folk" songs come up. Including the Occupy song Makena sang to President Obama and other leaders at the APEC dinner in Hawaii a few weeks back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VegV-8vu7go

But that assumption doesn't explain why those that are trying to get money out of politics are getting so thoroughly attacked and denigrated, not only by the established monied interests in politics (that's logical to defend their status quo), but by their fellow citizens. Strange.

Getting 400,000 people to change their banks within a month was a pretty successful "movement" action. Quote:
![]() But basically, you are saying that the very people that could benefit from OWS actions are attacking them because ... they have low attention spans and don't like Occupy methods? That's kind of insulting, don't you think? Yes, peaceful legal public protest and wanting politicians to change laws to get money out of politics is so radical and offensive.

![]() It's not but it's pretty close to (insert name) union supporting Obama and then being thrown billions back under the guise of creating jobs.
