Wall Street Doesn't Just Run the Show, They Write the Law

In the most damning piece of recent evidence that Occupy Wall Street was right that it's Wall Street who runs things, not the government, the NYTimes today reports that Citigroup lobbyists wrote several bills that recently passed the House Financial Services Committee:

99% to Monsanto: NO MORE!

Join the March Against Monsanto to shut down the one corporation that controls every morsel of food from our cradles to our graves.

At the moment over two million people have planned over 400 global marches in 52 countries, 200 cities, and simultaneously in 47 states in the United States.

Capitalism IS the Problem

First of all: there seems to be some kind of misconception among some people, of what capitalism actually is.

“This is a non-violent direct action, you are not being held in this room, you are free to exit when you please. We no longer recognize your presidency at Cooper as legitimate and in so doing we commit to re-claim this office in the interim until a suitable administrative alternative is secured."

Congress: Still Corporate. Still Criminal. Still Captured.

One of the points Occupy Wall Street made, by choosing to occupy space in Manhattan and not in DC, was that it's really Wall Street who runs things, not the government.

The votes in the House Financial Services Committee today underscore that point with stark clarity.
