A Short Citizen's Guide to Reforming Wall Street

Great ideas. But...



The street is spending $500 million to lobby against it, and the Supreme Court has determined that corporations can spend all they want to influence elections--which gives those lobbyists even more power.



How can corporations with more money than the government ever be controlled by a government they effectively own?



I submit that job number one is to make money irrelevant to elections, by using social media to make information transmission so efficient that undecided/uninformed voters get all the information they need, within moments. That is the only way to put an end to the influence of misleading advertisements and sound-bite politics.



Example: The "Right to Vote" measure in California is obviously funded by electrical companies, to prevent a government takeover the next time they attempt to scam the state for billions, as they did in the last energy crisis. Their ads run 30 times a day, and the election is months away.
