Ultimately, it's not just about income inequality and Wall St, but about leveling the playing field. In more ways than one, too. Breaking it down here- it's also about access.
As it stands, the middle class, working class, working poor and the poor all lack access to the legislative process, despite us supposedly being a democracy. Without access, there's no equality. Not racial, not gender, income, social or any other kind.
And it's not just Wall St, it's special interests, their lobbyists, wealthy donors and other moneyed interests. These entities do not want an equal and just society. They are invested in our lack of access because with the way the system currently works, the less we have, the more they have. The more oppression we get, the more benefits they get - and they do not want to let that model go.
We are saying, that model's time has come.
It's not a single issue, it's an all encompassing issue.
