Occupy - E noho! E whai whakaaroaro!

I am not an economist or a politician, but I have a lot of experience in translating complicated language into plain English. I don't want "Occupy Auckland" to be just a joke to some and an embarrassment to the Council running Aotea Square. Let's sit and think a bit, setting out the situation, asking academics to tell us solutions others have suggested. It is not as if this is a new problem. Isaiah was writing about it,
Karl Marx wrote about it, the United States is split down the middle over it, the Chinese start with a Communist country, work the poor from the country hard and end with everyone owing their country money.
Today I have had a friend help me with setting up a blog. Come on in, more of you.
Make Auckland a place where we actually find some answers, see where to put the pressure next, work together to do something helpful.
