Moore: The ‘Occupy’ movement will only continue to grow
Source: Raw Story

Appearing on Monday night’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, activist filmmaker Michael Moore explained that the “Occupy Wall Street” movement has all the momentum it needs to continue growing rapidly.

“This is something much larger. We oppose the way our economy is structured. The economic system itself, at its core, is unfair, it’s not just and it’s not democratic. We live in a democracy. We have to have full democracy now. Not just voting for politicians … I, you, everybody else here wants a say in how this economy is run. We are affected by it in our daily lives and we are not going to tolerate this anymore.”

The video below is from Current TV’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, broadcast Monday, Oct. 3, 2011.

1. Hope it spreads to ATL
I'd like to go out and take my children with me too - this is peaceful and active participation in guiding your country.

2. This line earns the rec:
"The economic system itself, at its core, is unfair, it’s not just and it’s not democratic"

And this is what we need to focus on - not "making this system work" when this system is inherently unfair and undemocratic. We need a new system.
