We need to de-claw the Fat Cats on Wall St.
Hi,

I posted this in the Economy forum, but in order for my goals to be reached, I'll need the help of activists as well. I'm working on a book, called "Crazyman's Economics," which should be out in Feb. or March. This book is intended for "Mom and Pop America" who trusts their 401 k and pensions to a system that is designed to create a false sense of wealth and security, while filling the pockets of those whose are addicted to wealth and greed without remorse.

As we're starting to realize, the bubble is about to burst, and 'fly-over country' is about to wake up and see that their $15 trillion of paper wealth is just that, paper.

My blog is up, and my website is being finalized, but I need your help: I'm a common man, not a reporter. I'm also not very internet-savvy. I want to reach the people online like yourselves to get them to question what they've been taught to believe over the years from Wall Street. If I can build a grassroots coalition of people who are willing to pressure Congress to enact real reforms and to change the way Wall St. operates, then this country has a chance to save its retirement!

If you know any message boards, groups, websites, alternative press organizations and such that would be receptive to my somewhat controversial beliefs would be welcome. You can e-mail me at crazyman@crazymanseconomics.com.

Thank you for your help!

1. The pathology is already rampant in corporate boardrooms

See the documentary The Corporation and read 'synopsis'

http://www.thecorporation.com/index.cfm?page_id=312

This is basically John Edward's campaign...but it HAS TO BE a covert campaign. The corporations will undermine him eventually and fight for Democratic progressive 'light' (read HRC or Obama). The real deal is Kucinich but he doesn't stand a chance because he is TOO OVERT. John Edward's campaign is keeping the progressivism veiled. His healthcare plan really reels 'em in since it gives those corporations a chance to compete against single payer (knowing full well they can't compete due to their high overheads).

The corporations will cut their own throats rather than let JE win.
