6. We need public campaign financing to stop the buying of congress & admin. We also
in addition to restoring regulations need to rethink our capitalistic system in that it rewards extreme greed.

IMO capitalism is fine, it's that we have no controls to prevent runaway capitalism wherein in the big just get bigger and bigger.

I really get a laugh out of people screaming about gov. control, etc., etc. This country is already controlled, it's controlled by the huge obscene greedy gross corporations...

We need to legislate a balance back into our capitalistic system, but as long as congress is bought and controlled by corporate money, influenced and often the same people, squat will happen.

And on top of this we have a Supreme Court that now thinks huge corporations are, oh well, just another person.

How could we possibly have a system that is fair and balanced with this crap going on.



:wtf: :rant: :banghead: :grr:
