So what was occupying Wall Street about?
For a number of years, we have slowly, quietly watched our freedoms being surrendered to economic power in the form of corporate law and accumulation of wealth buttressed by our non-independent, selective media. Wall Street symbolically represents the intersection of these forces.
Slowly, this loss of freedoms has taken form as the best and the brightest - those formally educated by our universities - sculpted laws to craft corporate hegemony over the law of the land at the expense of individual rights.
Two primary acts demonstrate how this transformation has happened: The legal ruling establishing a corporation as an individual, accompanied by the strange interpretation that wealth is a form of free speech.
