We The People Must ALL Band Together To Start A "PEOPLE'S BANK" And Trade Unions, etc


>>>>>>>>>>We Must Start A PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT!<<<<<<<<<<<
The image of the "Rich Getting Richer On The Backs Of The Poor" might be a cartoon but there's nothing funny about it's message. The Middle Class and Poor, the 99% of THE PEOPLE are the WAGE SLAVES and INDENTURED SERVANTS of the 1% of the Rich! That sadly sums up the lives of We,The People in America and the World! But in reality, if We The People UNITE, we have the resources to change the Balance of Power in America and the World. No, I am not talking about adopting a Communist or Socialist type of Government or Economy. I am talking about a Democratic Capitalist system of Government that is RUN BY and CONTROLLED by THE PEOPLE! This is NOT a fantasy or a pipe dream. This is an idea that is POSSIBLE AND DOABLE but we ALL must first realize the problem and BAND TOGETHER to bring about its solution...a solution that puts the PEOPLE BACK IN CONTROL OF THEIR OWN LIVES AND DESTINY! The plan is a simple one and will work because of the sheer Mathematics behind it. There is no LYING in Mathematics! Taken as a WHOLE, We, the PEOPLE have MORE MONEY, MORE VOTES and potentially MORE POWER than the now most powerful 1%. The solution lies in our BANDING TOGETHER OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE'S RESOURCES and using our ENORMOUS FINANCIAL and SOCIAL POWER to COMPETE and eventually PREVAIL over the richest 1%. All we need to do is RECOGNIZE the problem that we are living with and get off our collective butts to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We should not be the PAWNS of the rich. We should be the Kings and Queens of our own lives and destiny! What would happen if We The PEOPLE pooled all our resources? We would mathematically have more money that the richest 1%. For example We, The People could start our own "PEOPLE'S BANK" with favorable policies toward ALL of the People, NOT policies that make the rich richer! We can form a POWERFUL FINANCIAL AND BANKING SYSTEM that puts the PEOPLES NEEDS FIRST rather than a system where the rich have made every one of us their INDENTURED SERVANTS and WAGE SLAVES! We the People are currently ALL IN DEBT to the richest 1%. We must realize the fact that the rich are TRYING TO OWN US! They want to BUST OUR UNIONS, TAKE AWAY THE MINIMUM WAGE, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OUR SCHOOLS and other institutions that help us get by. And by doing so they will make us SO DESPERATE that WE WILL WORK FOR ANY WAGE and succumb to their evil plan to CONTROL AND DOMINATE US! If we all pooled or ENORMOUS COLLECTIVE RESOURCES we could also start our own TRADE UNIONS and FACTORIES which would give us the Power and Leverage to BARGAIN and NEGOTIATE OUR OWN TRADE AGREEMENTS and CREATE GOOD PAYING JOBS FOR ALL OF US! In the past great ideas have failed because the people who institute the change become too powerful and as we all know that all too often "Absolute Power Corrupts, Absolutely." That is why we must choose people wisely who will help with this movement. I believe people like Robert Reich, Paul Krugman, Bernie Sanders. Elizabeth Warren and the like could help give WE The PEOPLE the INCITE and KNOWLEDGE to help us reach our goals. I'm not writing this for you to merely say "You know this guy has some good ideas but it's just a dream and can't be done." I'm writing this to START AN ACTUAL MOVEMENT! Such a Movement is LONG OVERDO. I cannot do it alone. You cannot do it alone, BUT TOGETHER ALL OF US CAN DO IT AS A POWERFUL UNIFIED VOICE...WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD STAND FOR SOMETHING and not be just empty words! Let's DO THIS! Here is my e-mail address: marvinr5612@gmail.com. If you want to get this movement going please email me with your thoughts and suggestions and contact all your friends and loved ones. WE, THE PEOPLE must realize that WE HAVE THE POWER!

that they made us believe these things are possible.

That we could tax wall street to provide education, among other things like more union participation.



I hope Bernie is president someday, but whether he is or not, THIS is what he wants.

He wants these results MORE than he wants to actually BE the President, I truly believe that.

It's more than that...It's a movement that must start by making the People aware that they are screwed. We need a HUGE RALLY and get the PEOPLE MOTIVATED. Unfortunately the average person doesn't even realize that he is OWNED!

It's really not that easy to say that Bernie is the answer. We must first wake up some of the people to realize that they are wage slaves and indentured servants to the wealthiest 1%. Then we have to make the 99% of the Middle Class and the Poor MOTIVATED ENOUGH to do something about their plight. If the People start to realize they are screwed and get motivated behind the idea that they have the POWER IN NUMBERS AND RESOURCES to do something about it, then maybe a guy like Bernie would have a chance to become President. But the PEOPLE have to MOBILIZED FIRST and understand that they cannot just go through life lah dee dah watching American Idol, Monday Night Football or NASCAR...They must realize that they are OWNED by the wealthiest 1% and get MOTIVATED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! If the People don't understand what's happening to them and don't get Motivated for Change, then all the Bernie Sanders in the World can't help us. The People must unite behind a cause first for us to succeed!

A credit union is NOT what I'm calling a "PEOPLE'S BANK." I'm talking about EVERY PERSON pooling their resources in a NATIONAL BANK OWNED BY ALL THE PEOPLE...NOT a local credit union. I'm talking about ALL THE PEOPLE POOLING THEIR RESOURCES to starta TRADE UNIONS and CORPORATIONS which can negotiate THEIR OWN TRADE DEALS and build THEIR OWN FACTORIES using THEIR OWN COLLECTIVE RESOURCES as LEVERAGE! We The People have NEVER done ANYTHING before on the magnitude of EVERY PERSON owning their own back and factories!
