8. It may be more important to American democracy in the long term,

but what does that matter if people starve to death in the short term? :shrug:

9. Surprisingly true.

Because what we have now is a huge crisis of confidence in our entire system. We don't believe, at the moment, that anything is being done to benefit anyone but the super rich.

The exercise of honest justice is the most immediate, practical method of restoring faith in our system.

Otherwise, no enacted law will be followed and the ensuing corruption will destroy any attempt to make things better economically.

You cannot tell me to trust my bank when no crime committed by the rich and powerful is even investigated never mind punished. And if investigated, NEVER punished.

WE NEED TO SEE THE CRIMINAL POWERFUL PUNISHED IN ORDER TO RESTORE OUR TRUST.

10. If this isn't prosecuted, those "techniques" will be comng soon

to a neighborhood near you. They probably already have. There are some lines that have to be highlighted even if they won't get you elected to office or pay your rent. This is one of them.
