Common complaints at these “occupy” rallies:
* Banks got bailouts, but those with student loans can’t get bailed out - at the very least, let student loans be bankruptable if not forgiven altogether.
IMHO, understandable for a lot of students saddled with debt and no jobs.
* Lots of demands for universal health-care, universal sick time, “negative” income tax to pay a minimum amount to everyone and higher taxes to pay for it.
IMHO, pure socialism.
* Demands to repeal Citizens’ United decision, letting businesses have equal speech. But their demands would let unions pump out all the ads they want.
IMHO, either include unions in the bans on election ads or let businesses be equal in free speech to unions.
* Reinstate Glass-Steagall
IMHO, probably the only reasonable demand on the list

Would anyone like to meet up for a Hard Hat Riot? The time has come for the cycle of history to fully repeat itself.

Beat up these sniveling punks?

I think they're providing too much comedy for that.

But if they get doped up enough to try to carry out their little "Revolution" by whatever they think of as violent means, it might make for a fun afternoon....

**sigh**

Haven’t we had enough rallies and demonstrations?

If they implement 10, none of the others would occur...and these cretins would be back doing their bongs and watching Addams Family.
