Occupy Chicago to vote on list of 12 demands



Oh how I love democracy in action.

For decades we have always known there is a plan for the destruction of the middle class. The minute we the people put our blinders on after being bombarded with how cool it is to be selfish, with that "Me Generation" propaganda. It worked, as we slept and rapidly changed from a manufacturing powerhouse, to a slowly weight-gaining consumer society.

Finally the people have awakened after seeing our justice system destroyed with corporate lackey's appointed on its bench, with an ultimate attempt at further destroying our lives with an economic plan of turning the people into a low wage, indebted serfdom. We should have seen it coming when they brazenly repealed the "Glass-Steagall Act of 1933". That was indeed our wake-up call, but they did what they do best, and threw a few bread crumbs our way just to fatten us up more for slaughter. So we slept, and let them storm our State legislatures, the House of Representatives, and nearly capturing the Senate based on nothing but lies. Now that they are in, the agenda is definitely clear. Suppress voter rights, women's rights, strip collective bargaining, lower wages, zero health care, underfunding, and segregation of our schools.

Well, you thought we would just sleep right on through it, didn't you? Sadly you continue to fail and read your history books. You do remember "The Great Depression"? You caused all this back then, and wish to pick up where you left off now. You guessed that if we ship those jobs overseas, you'd have us on our knees. Well, look overseas. Those people are waking up also. A wise man once said: "Tis easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24). The people, throughout our existence, have always stood up and rebuked those that seek oppression. A long time ago England attempted it. Back then, they were the "Rich" imposing oppression upon us. Now, we have not a country, but multiple corporations seeking the same path. They also shall be rebuked because this is, a democracy in action.
