Read Demands of 'Occupy Wall Street'... And Try Not to Laugh
Fox Nation ^ | October 4, 2011

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....

Yeah, so what is the incentive to work at all?

When did these ‘demands’ surface?

I thought they were protesting the banks getting all the bailout/stimulus money and leaving the crumbs for everyone else.

Or maybe this is ‘phase II’.

. . . yawn. these commie, liberals, socialists are so lazy and unprincipled and ignorant. Tools. Just tools. They have no idea how they are just puppets to handmaidens such as Soros and union leader thugs. i came across the same bs crowd in college well over ten years ago. it was so disgusting to me how they just parroted the same BS and never went on to get a real job after college. all became professional demonstrator/radicals often living off their hard working parents or some socialist, liberal, commie organization labelled non profit.

These definitely need wide viewership.

They’re actually better off with the vague demands because the specifics will destroy them.

They are ‘protesting’ the fact that our society is materialistic and wasteful, that not enough is being done about ‘climate change’, that not enough is being done to ‘conserve’ energy and that not enough is being done to develop ‘clean/renewable energy’ — in between trips to the portable gasoline-powered generator they use to recharge their iPhones, their iPads, and the lap-top computers so they can watch videos of their ‘protests’ on their favorite ‘social media network’, that is.
