Yet your statement tries to make it simplistic. Corporations do not run our lives, create our laws or run our country but the do have a great influence and presence in our society because that’s what capitalism is all about. They’re the job creators and innovators that allow us and our families to lead good lives. I agree that they do need to be put on a shorter leash in some aspects but the system does not need to be taken apart as these protestors would like. They have no need to protest anyway since the current administration is doing whatever it can to move us into the socialist “utopia” they all want. These protestors, regardless of their organizational skills, want a society where there’s no rich or no poor and where everyone is on an equal plain. That is socialism anyway you slice it and we have history to prove what happens under that kind of system. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/occupy-wallstreet/260647)._
