Unemployment, and so on

[kandrathe]

Who else is going to do things like this to affect change? The folks who have to work two jobs just to keep food on the table? This has been the case throughout history. The ones who have time for thoughts beyond "How can I keep my family from starving" are the ones who generally have money so they don't have to work excessive hours to get their basic needs taken care of. You have to have some sort of support to be able to spend days/weeks at a protest sit-in/rally otherwise you're going to go hungry.

I hear you. I just know that were I to spend my time engaging in civil disobedience, getting arrested, etc... That I'd soon also be unemployed, and in a worse position than when I started.

The strange irony of that those with the financial freedom to express their 1st amendment rights don't need to, and those who have the need can't break free from the system long enough to express themselves.

So, while interesting, I find the views of 1%ers like Soros, Buffet, or Micheal Moore also just a little hypocritical. They are in a position to *really* tap into the power to change the system, and yet given the prospect, they won't kill their golden goose.
