On some level, The President works to help all levels

He's working within the current corporate favored system that's been in use for the last 35 years. He's demanding that it play fair, or at least in a more fairer way than it actually is. Since he doesn't actually control Washington, of course his success has been somewhat muted. Unfortunately, he's found out that presidents and politicians don't actually change the culture of Washington in a day and age where the most important thing is to have a government which serves the needs of the corporate and banking elites.

Any idea that he's some kind of Anti-business Marxist is ridiculous… He's thoroughly pro-system, as is 99% of the people who are running Washington for the benefit of the lobbyists.

But this is the political season, where the people are lobbied to lend a hand in the decision making process. However, it shouldn't end after the voters cast their ballots. Voters need to become activists and ensure that their votes actually count for something. Last year, there was Occupy, it needs to grow and become part of the decision making process in Washington in more of a way that the Tea Party sought to achieve an influential voice.

These are things that go beyond partisan politics, because everyone is playing this game. What it is, is us versus the corporations; the same corporations that are responsible for destroying the middle class, enriching the corporate elites, peddling influence in the halls of government, privatizing the pensions of workers, commoditizing the price of living and the way that health care is provided and lowering the overall standard of living, which creates misery, transfers public and working class wealth to the rich and seeks to put American workers in a position where they have to compete with underpaid slave labor in foreign countries.

Instead of complacency outside of the political seasons, Americans need to step up their game. If we win in November, we just can't pat ourselves on the back and leave it at that. We need to demand change. We need to expect that it will happen.

We need to take back our futures from the corporate elites…

We need to Occupy America.
