The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters have listed 13 proposed demands from their website. Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr. Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors. Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment. Demand four: Free college education. Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand. Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now. Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants. Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment. Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live. Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system. Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period. Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies. Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union. These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy. Demands
Why bother going to college? Isn't nuclear power an alternative energy to fossil fuel??? So here we have an end to the hundreds of thousands of jobs held by people who work for Walmart and private insurers. But hey, they can go work as $20 an hour baby sitters for the $75/hr. factory workers who can't afford to shop any more because all of the cheap "dumped" foreign goods have been tariffed off the shelves. Yes, yes, I can see it now a worker's paradise. BTW these young kids are out there protesting because they haven't any jobs and haven't anything else to do. They're loaded with college loan debt. And they never once consider that 3 years ago they were buying that "hope and change" **** and voting for the idiot in the White House today who's done nothing to get the economy moving.
I'll add a few of my own.. 14. A pony 15. Shiny Black Cadillac :wink: This bunch is an embarassment to protestors everywhere!
Is that list a joke? That can't be for real! A $20.00 minimum wage? These idiots live on McDonald's..... next time they order a Big Mac it will cost them $20.00, another $10.00 for fries. tell me this is a spoof. Even these hairballs can't be that stupid.
The Head-knockers Ball (ABC News) — The cavalry has arrived in Lower Manhattan. Representatives from no fewer than 15 of the country’s largest labor unions will join the Occupy Wall Street protesters for a mass rally and march today in New York City. The AFL-CIO, United Auto Workers, and Transit Workers’ Union are among the groups expected to stand in solidarity with the hundreds of mostly young men and women who have spent the better part of three weeks sleeping, eating, and organizing from Zuccotti Square. Their arrival is being touted as a watershed moment for the “Occupy” movement, which has now seen copycat protests spring up across the country. And while the specific demands of the “occupiers” remain wide-ranging, the presence of the unions — implicitly inclined to making more direct demands — may sharpen their focus. Today’s action is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET, when the protesters in Zuccotti Square march approximately one mile north to Foley Square, where they will be met by community and labor leaders. Then, at 4:30 p.m., they plan to march together back down toward Wall Street. They do not yet have a city-issued permit for the gathering, but are now pursuing one. The “Union March” is expected to be the movement’s largest yet and there is the potential for a significant number of arrests. The New York Police Department booked an estimated 700 protesters Saturday as they attempted to cross the Brooklyn Bridge, bringing the total number arrested to over 1,000 in less than three weeks.

The Obama Administration is now showing solidarity with the anti-Semitic Wall Street occupiers. Everyone from the Treasury Secretary to former czar Van Jones to Democratic Congressmen and the labor goons are joining the parade downtown... <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qlKiATQIR_4" frameborder="0"></iframe>
The Occupy Wall Street demonsrations are not random acts of protest. They're a coordinated part of Obama's reelection campaign involving people both inside and outside of his White House team. Whatever kind of Democratic Party this has become...I don't recognize it as any party that I used to belong to. If it looks like fascism, smells like fascism and sounds like fascism... The further behind in the polls the Obamanites fall, the more desperate they become...
Where do they find these people to rant against banks and health care insurance companies......oh wait.....never mind. :!:
Thank you Mr President......he has been rallying the lynch mobs since he took office by virtue of his constant demonizing and class warfare. Hell, just this week the Senate floor became the latest rallying point for the incessant and ultimately destructive ranting......it should come as no surprise to anyone.
Glen Beck looks like a prophet now, does he not? He's been calling this for two years; he told us this was coming and even told us the players.
:cry: Alex Baldwin joined them today also.. and he is the voice for a majorbanks credit card. Where does it stop. send them all where they need to be protesting the real problem. The WHite House and all its Czars. frustrating. how can they be so stupid to think wall street has anything to do w. what they are protesting it is so illogical. It reminds me of hippies in the late 60's all those with their hands out but dont want to work for anything. LOSERS I bet most of those protesting dont have money in the market at all. nor do they understand what Wall street is or does. and after listening to some of them they dont even have a high school education/ :twisted:
I wonder how union paying members feel that their unions are blowing money (food, clothes, other supplies) on these turds.
This is all being orchestrated by the Obama reelection campaign. I was listening to the radio on the way home from work today and I heard an interview with Larry O'Connor, who is one of Andrew Breitbart's people. They've traced the origin of this whole thing right back to the White House. The domain name for the website "Occupy Wall Street" was reserved way back in May by a Canadian group affiliated with various labor unions like the United Autoworkers that also have American political connections. Guess what? It turns out that these are the exact, same people who ran the website "Crash the TEA Party" in 2010! That website was moved and finally abandoned after all of the labor union ties to Obama's White House and the Chicago Machine were revealed. Here we go again! The "protesters" are being bussed in, fed and housed by the labor unions. The protesters also have professionally made signs and t-shirts provided by the same outfits. There is nothing spontaneous about any of this. The far-left knows that it's in the final year of power, so they're going for the throat. Even the Democrat governor of North Carolina has talked seriously about cancelling the elections. These are scary people and the sooner "we the people" get rid of them, the safer our democracy will be...
If he has $87K in student loans to become a printer repairman, how many quarters did he fail and have to repeat for that Associate's degree?
