The Occupy Wall Street protests has brought corporate fraud and abuse to the forefront. While there is a misconception that OWS hates all corporations, and wants to get rid of capitalism. This is simply not true and is nothing more than propaganda spread by the conglomerates OWS is protesting against.
For far too long, multinational corporations like Monsanto have abused and manipulated our system (both capitalistic and governmental) to get what they want - increased profits. These large corporations are sending jobs overseas, overtaking towns putting "mom and pops" out of business, and selling goods manufactured in China and other countries.
We have lost control. Our food is over-processed and tainted with chemicals. Pharmaceuticals are being approved without the proper research to ensure safety. The Entertainment industry wants to literally break the Internet because they don't want to adapt. The war on terrorism is growing because it's too profitable for the defense contractors.
Americans are working harder and longer than ever before (assuming they can find a job). Retirement is nothing more than a dream, and poverty is increasing with each passing day.
As the middle class fades away, executives from these huge corporations are getting richer and more powerful. The more money they make, the more money they dump into their pawns in the House or Senate, crafting legislation that only benefits them.
I, Phil Bowyer (the owner of Phibble), has launched a grass roots effort to save America. It's called Operation: Independence. It's all about taking back control of the things we use everyday. It's about the truth in media. It's about supporting our community and getting to know our neighbors again. It's about creating a quality of life that we haven't seen in a long time. It's about doing the right thing, especially if that means helping someone that needs it. It's about humanity.
Very soon, this site will become the destination for our own capitalistic society. One that is fair. One that rewards hard work, and penalizes those who abuse the system. I hope you will join me in creating a new society that doesn't prey on the weak.
