Dear Mr. President: This is Why We're Here
"Dear Mr. President" was written for the Occupy movement, by Gabriel Quinn Andreas of Occupy Santa Barbara. He expresses a common sentiment in the occupys, many supporters of President Obama feel he’s failed them with the whole hope-y change-y thing: "We gave you a fair chance and this is how it went. Signed sincerely yours, The Other Ninety-Nine Percent."

When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
and,maybe, The Earth might heal. Capitaism is illogical. It eats everything,destroys everything for 'money' (a concept). End the illogical and perhaps you might have a chance. Good luck.

for folks to absorb. It is important in many ways.
I had not seen the Pink song either mountainman...thanks.
Here is one from my days as a pseudo-hippie (with a job, college and kids) that has been updated.
I remember hearing this and saying 'hell yes!".

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand, Lord, don’t they help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door, Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, I aint no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes, Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give? Ooh, they only answer more! more! more!
It aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, I aint no fortunate one, no,

just stumbled across it while I was looking for some CCR live performances.
Wall Street is just a parasite on the actual labor and investments of average Americans.
Banks play with futures, debt paper, complex financial instruments, and other peoples incomes.
Sell 'em short & help 'em crash - Tear 'em apart & sell the pieces
We can end war in this country with a fair, all inclusive, draft. Women, rich, etc. everyone, no exceptions.
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
wrong wrong. The Congess will write the rules. Fail.
'term limits'. Who gonna vote for that?
John wrote that song back when we wus fightin Viet Nam. I was somewhere in some pisshole greasin.

never was. Got to do my own thing fer awhile. Then I stopped. Turned around. Dropped it all. Irreversable loss does that.
We was black before 'Black'. Fashioned our own weapons. Requested Granted. Swift.Silent. Gone. Never Happened.
happened
unless we don't let them start. Too late,compadre. The war on terra will never end. YOUR president just said so. WE are all suspects,now. WE are all now 'enimies of the state' cuz they say We are. You don't get it and you won't until......you realise what Hopey Changey just did.
society is so SLOW to evolve, especially when it's members suffer from religious retardation.

songs don't change presidents. Anymore. Perhaps before you go out and give away your precious vote,know who is playing the tune. Not who wrote the music.
Quote another lyric from this fine song which has an inkling of what this great singer songwriter felt Obama
should have done for him. "This is why we're here."
This is why #Occupy is and has been a joke to most of the 99%.
"3 protesters barely on our property chained to a...drum...not causing any problems so I told the guys to just monitor them and let them freeze."
Shocking document revealing Fed attack on Occupy Portland 11/6/11
tell me over and over and over again my son that ya don't believe were on the eve of destruction
The frustration with Obama made it to song form. The problems are obvious and there are obvious answers, but they don't care. This is why Ron Paul, 70% crazy is a realistic choice.
People are too comfortable. We need to hit Pre WW2 Germany before anything significant happens.
