Sheeeeeesh Occupy needs a simple task, and it has a simple task! Get out the vote, but not for the Dems or GOP! It's simple: all our problems stem from either the GOP or Dems or both, but inherantly, it's the two party duopoly they have. They act different on many issues, but the important issues, they are the same: war, big bank bailouts, corporate interests, lobbying, subsidies, torture, domestic spying ....
Our two party, winner take all system is the problem. The only people who would address this, logically, are other parties. The libertarians, Gary Johnson, are pretty legitimate, but very libertarian and small government. Green Party and Dr Jill Stein are exactly what Occupy should be looking for! Why is this a tough sell? Occupy can attempt to garner enough support for some serious economic turmoil and control, but that'll take more cooperation and coordination than they've had. Think rationally: The election is the time to voice your discontent! Forget the concept of "throwing your vote away" and vote for real change! At worst, you voiced your discontent. At best, you get them elected, or you force the Dems to concede on issues you want. But without electoral reform, and third party representation, the two party duopoly will continue to run the show, and continue to fight vigorously about social issues while crafting the same corrupt legislation for our banker overlords..

Single Payer is one of the linchpins, It is the vulnerable position that health care costs put people in by taking an entire family's life saving trying to save a loved one. That is not necessary or reasonable. It is the vulnerability of having to work for a bad employer because they hold the reins of your health care. Employers across this nation have abused this power ruthlessly. Paying less and less and stepping up more and more wage theft while employees are powerless to do anything about if they feel they might not find health care easily somewhere else.

Wall Street is heavily entrenched in Health care and is using it as a tool to extract all the wealth each person has sooner or later. it is their huge profits brought about by their giant parasitical billing apparatus that is sucking the lions share of the money that is mostly responsible.

When we stop this, we will be standing on a firm foundation of security that enables us and our children to grow and have decent lives that go beyond a paycheck to paycheck existence that turns to nightmare if a person needs real life saving health care intervention.
