The wave of occupations against greed that have sprung up since the first 'occupation against Wall Street', are heartening indeed.
They come out of a simple truth; we are fed up of being ruled by the interests of a tiny capitalist elite. The 1%, made up of corporations, bankers, financiers, political elites, should not be able to rule over the interests of the other 99%.
As modern day capitalism continues to squeeze the living conditions of the bulk of working people, and drive to destitution some of the most vulnerable in society, we need to collectively say 'enough is enough'.
We need politicians both locally and nationally to represent the needs of the people, not just those who can pull the financial strings.
Let us see this movement grow. We must do whatever we can to build a society based on the needs of the many, not the greed of the few.
