I’ve been a huge fan of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement since it began on September 17th, but actually what I really think I’m the fan of >> is fact that people are finally starting to wake up and see that this country has MAJOR FLAWS! This is something I thought would NEVER happen - let alone in my lifetime. BUT..........

Presidential Candidate Alexander Wants Unemployment Benefits Extended Indefinitely (tags)
If elected president in 2012, Alexander says his administration will support the provisions of a livable guaranteed annual income.

What's more, so far the Occupy protesters have shown an ability to learn from the Left's past mistakes, pattern their movement after the American Revolution (as the Tea Party did) and junk the hideously unworkable process of consensus decision-making.
