Fuck the "Buffet Rule" Obama is proposing [[39% tax), thats like asking them to buy one less bottle of champagne a year. That money can be used to build a clean energy economy through wind turbines, solar fields, and by making our buildings more efficent. I'm talking public works to put money in the pockets of the masses. We should stop the wars and bring the troops home to protect us from the police state. And maybe, just maybe, we can actually put some of the people in jail whose greed and recklessness caused this crisis.
Now, Sir, what is your solution. Or do you prefer just to be reactionary and heed the current system which is so clearly unsustainable.
What you don't understand is that these general assemblies are the demand. They are a process by which we can democratically decide what needs to be done. It won't be easy, or quick, so I can see why your capitalist mindset makes you so quick to reject it.
Its called "the struggle" for a reason.
