Corporate profit has replaced democracy as the governing principle of our society. This is a forty year aberration that calls for a fundamental course-correction.

“Corporate profit” is the catch all boogie man for people that know something’s wrong and need someone to blame.

We need a positive path forward lowering dependence on our largest banks. Change reserve requirements Change highly leveraged loans to hedge funds Look at credit default swaps Analyze derivative activity for risk Question giving big banks authority over digital currencies

Was there ever a thriving democracy here? Ask the natives.

Fundamental is 3rd Party, not the INSANITY of doing the same thing expecting different results. 60% of Americans AGREE with backing a 3rd Party.

If it was a forty year aberration, then that would put us at 1982. Well, that was the "me decade" that is summed up well by the entertaining movie, Wall Street. Check out the Save Soil movement for something more positive, #Savesoil

It’s the political elite working in tandem w the corporations. They are becoming one giant machine. Bigger and bigger government is making it even worse.
