Recently in Brazil, they had massive protest sparked by a hike in bus fares. We DO NOT have Representative government! We need to clean house and publicly fund elections! Lets vote out all of the corrupt, old career politicians that have sold us out b/c this shit has gotten way out of hand! Republicans and Democrats alike have gone in for corporate money and that is why they spy on us. They do not want to be surprised again by OWS! We are more corrupt than the worst 3rd world country.
Growing up I used to be proud that my country did not torture people, nor spy on its citizens, that was the Soviet Union. Now we are the world's Soviet Union! I am an American and I do not stand for what my country is doing. This is totally unacceptable! Who feels the same way?
