So there is a new declaration about what is needed by the “99%” of us not in power. This is all fine except that all of these movements (on the Left & Right) are mistaking their politics with the structural problem.

Most of the stuff in the 99% declaration is policy – and reasonable people in a democracy will always disagree about policy, so why are they confusing their issues with what they should really be asking for? The same is true for the tea party folks and libertarians and all of the other people complaining about policy problems. I love their energy and enthusiasm but I am frustrated by their solutions

The problem is not policy, it is STRUCTURAL.

We need only to agree on the structure we want to use to come to policy agreements. Let’s not confuse our own morality or issues with what a democracy should be. We are not going to agree on the issues but we can agree on how we will STUCTURE our system of comming to a compromise and living together. Right now there is no point talking about policy because we are stymied in congress by monied interests. There is a bottleneck of democracy in congress and we need to unblock it. 310,000,000 opinions get passed through 435 people – so who cares what the 310,000,000 think just buy off the 435!

This structural problem is out first priority. The we can argue forever about what to do about taxes, the environment, abortion, the scope of government etc…

NOW IS THE TIME FOR 30,000:1
