Quiet Activism

For those of us who WOULD like to 'do something' but understand that protesting 'wall street' is rather useless because they don't make the rules, they just get to enjoy them.

And we also understand that our elected officials are two faced, telling us what we want to hear while raking in the needed money to run for re-election or office.

'Wall street' can create a 'super pac, funnel in a million dollars and move it to other pac's and do that in a day.

We, average Joe and Jane Americans can't raise a million dollars to influence our elected officials and 'wall streeet isn't going to listen to us because we don't make the rules.

So what can we do?

Well some, albeit maybe not very effective, ideas are starting to come out.

These two won't 'change the system' but could put a crimp, large or small depending, in the operations of banks.

Our elected officals play phuck-phuck with us all the time. We don't/can't donate millions of dollars to campaigns. Corporations/big business and the wealthy can and do.

Now we can't do anything to our elected officals except every 2, 4 or 6 years so why not do something to the people that benefit more then we do?

Not going to change the world but maybe a little quiet 'take that'.
