And it's taboo for me to say anything bad about the Democratic party, but I'm going to say it anyway. Any member of the Democratic party that doesn't stand with OWS stands against my personal political beliefs. We've strayed way too far to the right in this country to the point where greed is a virtue. Greed isn't a virtue. Greed isn't self-reliance, and greed isn't self-preservation. Those are good goals. Greed is addiction to power, money and attention.

When it reaches the point where you accumulate so much that you think it is a virtue to deny those in your own society, those in your neighborhood and those in your own household the very things that provide care and sustenance, you are plain selfish. There is no other way to put it. Selfishness is not a virtue, it's a sin. Gluttony is not a virtue, and worshipping having a glut of money is not a benefit to society when you take it to the point where you would destroy others for having that glut.

Some in our party have strayed to the right, I'm not going to support them, I cannot support them, and their love of the laws of our land and the love of the people of this nation is lacking. I cannot support that, will not, and believe our party can be better than that.
