Who is running our country?
It depresses me that so many OWS camps are being "cleaned up" at apparently the same time.

Who is giving these orders? How is the timing so well-orchestrated?

This gives even more credence to the idea that our country really is run by just a few corporate magnates.

Tell me I'm wrong. I would love to hear I am wrong.

:-(

4. Free speech.
Unfortunately, money is a form of free speech. The 1% has most of it, ergo they run the country.

13. No one is running it.
This isn't a super-villain comic book universe. It's messy reality.
