Abraham Lincoln was an idealist. Fast forward a hundred years later, and idealists gave voice to our government as to how things should be run, ethically and morally. However, the last few decades it's as if the masses lost their initiative and fighting spirits faded which paved the way for the nation to be in a financial crisis stemming from involvement in fighting two wars, thanks to George Bush. In the shadow of war, corporations got greedy. Our nation controlled by a system of credit was and is in the hands of a few, where we are no longer a Government of free opinion, conviction or vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. The truth is, when too much money got into the hands of only a few, it's as if we created a monarchy obliterating the middle class.
One man who has the courage to speak his mind and organizes others, and fights against the injustice behind corporate greed is Bruce Marks, a former union activist and currently the CEO of the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA).
NACA aims to be a reformer of the banking and lending industry. There activities include enacting local and state legislation and regulations to address sub-prime and predatory lending. Ascending to Capitol Hill amidst a hearing watch the video of a fighter who questions if the nations foreclosures are done in accordance with the law, as he presses for the committee to hear from homeowners. A fight has to ensue and go on! Without it, it raises even a more frightening outcome- what will happen to a country filled with people deprived of their property and their children homeless in a country conquered by banks and corporations?
