He's being intentionally obstinate in his defense of an obviously broken system, and I have no idea why, but I have no interest in continuing when his posts constantly degrade to bullying.

please enlighten me as to why enacting change inside of the current system wouldn't work. (again from a laws and 'goings-on' perspective)
Over the last 30 years or so the influence of money in politics has steadily increased. The recent Citizens United decision is the cherry on top of this trend. Over the same time period the middle class has been disappearing predominantly into the lower class. The result is that more and more money/political power is being concentrated in fewer and fewer people. As far as I can tell, it's this trend that the Occupy folks object to. The reason it's difficult to change this system from within is because pushing your agenda requires you have more money than those who are pushing back. This problem is compounded by the fact that the system reinforces itself as those with money use their power to skew the system in their favor.

Money can't fight anger.... there are 82 countries behind this general movement.... it's bigger than politics, it's the fucking human race.

Whether we figure out a way to work it like adults or with raised pitchforks, people are advocating for change.

Money can do damn near anything if there's enough of it.

tell that to the arab leaders of the world.


more just poking fun at the point.... what it comes down to is from the beginning of this I realized, 'wow i've been an apathetic piece of shit when it comes to voting for my future.... I should make sure other people get some knowledge in their domes as well." Money can't prevent that. If it does then existentially speaking we're fucked as a race.

Speaking of taking the cause globally.. may need to redefine equality in the global discussion.. if you earn $25K or more you are in the top 10% of global income earners....
