That's what I think about it as well. While the parties do battle over the emotional issues like abortion, marriage, taxes and immigration, the rich continue to encircle us. It's nice to believe that your vote makes any real difference but until we all focus on who our enemy really is and proceed to do something about it we are all going to continue down the economic drain. OWS may be one way to at least get plutocracy out in the open. We all need to gather together under the common goal of taking our government back and away from the rich. If we don't do this and we continue to be distracted by party or any other freak show we can kiss the middle class good bye. Are you all going to accept the rich getting richer while we get poorer?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
