Where do solutions begin? Replacing Congress with Members of the 99%

and instead of investing our money in an unstable Casino/Multilevel Marketing Scheme called “Wall Street, bring it on home to local investment in local cooperatives–a business model built on social justice, not personal me-first greed.
We don’t hear much about cooperatives in the USA–and no wonder since our media is totally controlled by the 1% whose fortunes are all tied up the the multilevel marketing scheme they call “Wall Street”. Why do you think they want to privatize Social Security? They need a new source of cash to rob from the people and the Social Security coffers are about all we have left. The Wall Street jackals in Washington would like nothing better than to “invest” the huge nest egg of workers into their black hole in space where money disappears faster than you can say “Offshore Account” or “Preferred Shareholder” or “my personal golden parachute created from other people’s money.” We need to turn our backs on these people and create our own solutions, promote our own politicians–not one of their cookie cutter Party sock monkeys for Wall Street. BOTH political parties are run just like Wall Street. You want to be on their inner circle, then you damn well better have plenty of money–otherwise you are worthless to them.
Here is what you won’t read or hear on mainstream media: Cooperatives have been around for a long time and they are a global force to be reckoned with. Cooperatives provide 100 million jobs worldwide. The contribute $1.6 trillion to the economy. Fifty percent of all agriculture in the world is produced by cooperatives.
And now is the time and 2012 is the YEAR OF THE COOPERATIVES. The video below features ILO’s Juan Somavia who addressed ICA’s Cancun conference recently held (Nov 14-18) in Cancun. Juan Somavía (born April 11, 1941) is the current Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO).
