OWS (or ouch for the rest of us)

The Occupy Wall Street has it all wrong.  According to Russell Simmons (an OWS supporter and protester) they want corporations out of controlling our country.  Russell Simmons is described as Hip-hop mogul.

Now if I can remember Mr. Simmons does not give his stuff away for free.  He sells it.  Having lobbied congress for the Hip-hop and reggae artists, he is also a LOBBIEST.  He wants government to FORCE people to only BUY only LICENSED content. This is so that he can get his share of the royalties.

This is a corporation (DefJam Records) using its money (Lawyers and Artists and Mr. Simmons don't work for free) and influence to change laws.  Which is exactly what Mr. Simmons says he is against.

What needs to change is our election laws.  I have a very simple and easy change that should make everyone (except lobbiest like Mr. Simmons) happy.

IF YOU CAN'T VOTE, YOU CAN'T CONTRIBUTE TO A CAMPAIGN.

This would eliminate companies, corporations, unions, organizations (profit and non-profit), lobbiests and any foreign persons or people for influencing an election.  It would also prevent someone in California from contributing to the New York Governors campaign.

In order to get these changes enacted, WE THE PEOPLE need to stop voting for the LESSER OF TWO EVILS. Remember this: THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS, IS STILL EVIL.
