Graphic display of CORPORATISM'S revolving door of power and influence. This is how crony capitalism gets its name. Should anyone Corp. have this much power and influence in our Gov't? It works the same way in every other major dept.of the Federal Gov't and even as you go lower in the ranks you'll see the same revolving door. I have a few friends that worked for decades in the Fed. Gov't and obtained high positions of power, when they retired they went right to work for the very same Big Companies they had regulated. This is what pisses off people.

This system has made a few unbelievably wealthy and powerful. These same people have deep contempt for anybody else. The object of American education and societal pressure is to get into that inner circle of power and wealth or as close to it as one can get. We think this is success. This model is fatally flawed and causing irreparable harm to the environment and society. We are so involved in this model that we can't see anything else. What an outfit like FOX does is to simply display this model as spiritually advanced and unassailable and condemn any criticism or analysis of it, or anything that questions its authority and excellence.

The thing that has caused so much fear with the OWS movement is that they are asking the right questions and attempting to redefine the model. The deck is magnificently stacked against them and us. How deep are the convictions of the Occupy movement and like minded people. If they have the convictions that come with long perseverance than some measure of success and change will occur.

"These same people have deep contempt for anybody else." You know this is true if you've been around these people.

I have not been around them. But I read an interesting piece where this person was talking to an elite guy and he didn't understand OWS at all. Turns out the guy simply revolves between Greenwich Conn, The Hamptons, and Wall Street, so all his activity and friends are billionaires, that's all he sees. Its like the Buddha finally leaving his palace and seeing that there's suffering in the world, its a revelation.
