OCCUPY WALLSTREET!

[Kraftwerk]

I have a few solutions to problems facing the majority of Americans actually that could be enacted as soon as possible in order to begin the overhaul of the system:

- 90% reduction in The Federal Reserve's power to affect/influence/manipulate United States and global financial markets through use of printing fiat and ZIRP to send inflation sky high
- no more appointment of The Federal Reserve head, through election along with President
- enact limits on congressional terms, career politicians are whats wrong. increasing the turnaround rate on senators/representatives would provide better opportunities to best provide for the many, not opportunities for the few to know they'll just retain office as an incumbent no matter what they do
- cuts in military spending
- a return to capitalist/free market through complete or almost complete reduction of government intervention. no more TARP funding, no more bailouts. failing institutions are left to fail, smarter and better businesses are born in the ashes

Let me mull over some more.

More pages of walls of text. What is the point exactly? You guys changing any minds? Solving any problems?

A good representation of problems with America. Since when was changing minds or solving problems necessary?

Discourse for the sake of discourse is nourishment of intellect. You choose ipads and sports as hobbies, I choose understanding financial markets and global economics.

"Nourishment of intellect." lol that's a good one. You dipshits are just arguing about current events, not debating philosophy. You get your kicks arguing with people. That makes you an asshole, not an intellectual.

I don't know which is funnier, that this guy thinks of himself as successful or that he believes we envy him.

You think the very real and still active government won't Use every means at their disposal to put down a tiny uprising including domestic military action

You don't think our military isn't tired enough of killing innocent civilians overseas in the name of imperialism that they're willing to follow through with it domestically, especially after the police force in Oakland put a marine in a coma?

Good points certainly. I guess I would follow that these seem like changes (significant certainly) to our existing system. Primarily due to the wording I suppose... things like 'cuts in military spending' assume existing spending and a return to xxx signifies changes to an existing system.

I've read pages of 'revolution' 'overthrow' 'new system' 'can't fix' 'old dynasty' etc. Again, these seem like somewhat significant changes to an existing system.

You have added a lot of value to the conversation. You bring up a good point. I certainly view myself as successful in a rounded sense. Do you consider yourself to be successful and how do you define success?

Man, I wish I lacked the mental capacity to understand the stuff that was going on around me and be ignorantly blissful again. I guess you're successful in a sense that way.
