Occupy Wall Street is against economic disparity.<\/font><\/p>\n

Occupy Wall Street is against declining earnings for the lower and middle classes.<\/font><\/p>\n

Most importantly, Occupy Wall Street wants a separation of Corporation and State.\u00a0 We’re against allowing corporations (be they domestic or foreign) to funnel unlimited funds into political campaigns and our politicians’ pockets.<\/font><\/p>\n

When corporations buy off politicians on both sides of the aisle before an election even takes place, there is no room left for the voice of the people.\u00a0 The only way to reclaim a “by the people and for the people” government is to remove corporations from the political playing field altogether.<\/font><\/p>\n

We must repeal corporate personhood and the gross amounts of exploitable power it has given them.\u00a0 Otherwise our government will continue to be bought out from under us by anyone (including any foreign influence that bids high enough).
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

There is no ambiguity behind the purpose of OWS.\u00a0 If your news sources and political pundits tell you there is, they’re either lying or very stupid.\u00a0 OWS is made up of individuals, and they all have their pet issues and demands, but that does not mean that there is no clear message behind OWS.<\/font><\/p>\n

OWS protesters are not lazy bums looking for a handout.\u00a0 They want jobs and fair pay.\u00a0 They want corporations to quit shipping jobs overseas so that they can get back to work and live the American dream the way it’s supposed to be.

I should note that this album was not put together by me.\u00a0 It was posted over on a Reddit thread here<\/a> and I’m just passing it along.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s some more stuff that I think belongs in this post:
