Non violence does not represent a passive spirit it represents a higher order of civil behavior ~Harry Belafonte

The root of the situation is money... The Heart of the solution is The*People... The means of accomplishment is empowering The*People through Individual Directed Capitalization... Your Strength is your collective compassion for others... Lacking a single, inclusive unifying goal is the weakness which power will exploit... Occupy will morph into the next generation of movers & shakers intent on pushing their agendas... Taking decades to affect change... Them vs Us... Divide & Conquer Prevails ;(

Representative, Regulated Government is & always will be a FAIL. It's growth must be constrained by The*People. What's needed is a Transitional Tool that provides both immediate & long term change. Individual Directed Capitalization, Empowering The*People to direct public funding creates a DEVELOPMENT BUDGET that must be met by Corporate & Representative Power.. simple. Corporations Lobby for The*People, Elected Officials enact Directives of The*People. Regulations are scrutinized by The*People.

Us vs Them will FAIL & only serves 2 ignite the spark Look@King & Gandhi the FOCUS is on a Single Moral ACTION that SHIFTS POWER while galvanizing the debate & fringe support into Unified Agreement that creates MASS Appeal & delivers both immediate & long term change. Many of "Them" agree with you & demonizing limits that support. Empowering The*People to direct public funding creates a DEVELOPMENT BUDGET that must be met by Corporate & Representative Power... simple.

One*Demand My*1040 + Control the funding & YOU+The*People Direct Development & Corporations MUST LOBBY YOU+The*People One*Demand My*1040 Individual Directed Capitalization + iDC 65% of Your tax contribution directed & spent in the areas of public funding of YOUR CHOICE Power+2+The*Peaceful +My*1040+ Tea Party, Coffee Party, Any Party = The 99% DIVIDED-WE-FAIL Seize the Moral High Ground Unite the C.H.A.O.S. The Opportunity is N.O.W. Demand My*1040 Recovery Security Unity will Rapidly Develop

A system based on Individual Directed Capitalization creates unlimited funding growth due to the FACT that it's centered and valued upon human potential NOT limited resource or a global monetary gambling scheme... While @ the same time offering an incentive base for voluntary revenue increases to those capable of supporting higher rates of taxation by insuring a fixed rate over a certain time frame. Therefore tapping HUMAN POTENTIAL the TRUE PATH to PEACE.

i*have been to an Occupy & seen GREAT POTENTIAL for ACTION that would Unite this country & lead the way for other nations, especially those developing democracy, to directly empower The*People & shift away from being controlled by the NEXT Corporate installed DeMocRacy. This movement has the OPPORTUNITY to Unite the C.H.A.O.S. Don't WASTE IT + Demand My*1040 + Individual Directed Capitalization.... N.O.W.

If we stay the course of non violence this movement can succeed. Let's do it for our grandchildren.
