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.
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.
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.

And Ron Paul supports these loons.
Hmmm. Quite a list.
This action list would truly kill the economy.
Demand #1 is a real job killer. $20 an hour minimum wage?
Bub-bye, baby!
There's much more fun than that to be had combining the items on this list to see the "unintended" intended consequences.
Freepers get creative!
LOL, that can’t be serious can it?
is it?
Little league trophies for everyone!!! (snark)
How about we combine #5 and #6...and build all that infrastructure without burning fossil fuels. I got it! We go back to the way the Egyptians built the Pyramids - $20 per hour to haul concrete by rope!
“Demand one” is a good idea, except for the minimum wage part.
“Demand ten” - they didn’t really think that one through.
free college, LOL idiots there is noting free in this world as someone always has to pay for it in some way shape or form, that is unless these liberal professors who encourage and brainwash these idiots work for nothing and somehow I doubt they will do that.
Yet again these idiots on the left show themselves up for being the dummies they are.
Even late night TV shows are making fun of them.
These people don't see the United States as a land of opportunity, with the freedom to pursue happiness, and the best form of government available. They see the United States as a fat pig on a platter, with an apple in its mouth. They want to plunder all the wealth, resources, and freedoms we have to get it.
“Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.”
MY FAVORITE
And finally, WORLD PEACE!
All demand that’s missing is “Someone to wipe my ass!”
I laughed.
Does he? What did he say, other than supporting their right to protest peacefully without being abused by police? Which would apply to any of us.
“Why make Trillions when you can make.......BILLIONS!”
Well, damn if they didn't just figure out the nation's debt problem!
I thought this was interesting:
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted...
Makes you think who’s driving the “computer counting of ballots is too easy to fake” movement.
