Can someone that is more educated on what's going on please tell me what this is about?

the crux of it is to introduce a constitutional amendment that defines the (lack of) personhood of a corporation, and more specifically to repeal the citizen's united supreme court decision.

generally, the sentiment is the government is a slave to the global finance system, through open corruption practices of lobbying and closed-door deals and private contracting with public money. the US and Europe, hell the world is experiencing sharp declines in basic public services because of the financial sector's behavior. the financial sector private system with no accountability, yet they have direct control of the economy and direct control of people's lives.

what's the solution? i don't know. but the first step is to get mad, right? people aren't really looking to have someone else pay their loans off. protesters aren't looking for a handout. ultimately the inequality of wealth in the US is directly proportional to the poorest 3rd world countires, and that in itself is wrong.

it is that way because the pyramid scheme of government goes from local taxes all they way up to congress who, if they have to come to deadlock over basic health services or defaulting the country for political points, they're obviously not working in the interests of the people. when it can't make a decision over net neutrality, and the FCC has to meet verizon lobbyists behind closed doors, it's obviously working in favor of verizon and at&t. it's obviously broken. you know no matter who you elect, they enter the system as soon as they sit on the bench, and they are powerless to change it if they tried.
