The CEO cap pay was the last straw for me. I am sick and tired of watching our so called representatives not represent us. I am pissed off and want to do something, however, all I see is alot of talk and no action. Below the fold I will post what I feel we should do as a people to take back our country without resorting to violence.
The first thing we need to do as a people is to learn and understand what money and value truly are. A good start would be to watch the video Money as debt
After learning about money we can then move into the realization that we actually have more power than we realize. For example we could easily ( if everyone was on the same page) tell all of these greedy politicians and CEO's that their money has no VALUE by creating an embargo on any business transactions with these people. Through this action we would basically cause all of their money to become monopoly money and thus destroy any wealth that they had. However, because so many people value money still, it is not a viable option, or is it.
The Kitchen Table Alliance:
To help regain our power in this country and to help us fight the problems of this economic depression, I have come up with the Kitchen Table Alliance.
The Alliance would start as a small community organization that each town and or city could create.
Meetings:
Meetings would be held during dinner at members houses, with each member having to host a meeting once. This would force neighbors and people in the community to interact and to become more involved in each others lives than most communities have in recent times.
For these economic times meetings could be held to help those without jobs or any other economic problem. This safety net would be a far stronger and better one that any internet group.
Help during this horrible economy
Each community group could even create a second economy based on hours worked, or even create a secondary barter economy.
Political Power
This is the most important part. Each Community Alliance would form the backbone of our new political power. Think about having groups of people joined together in making sure each other is treated properly and able to live their lives with respect and dignity. Kitchen Table Alliance could be the new Union group. I see it more as a commons, a group that truly represents the people.
Please tell me what you think. How can I go about conceiving this properly? is it sound? etc
