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....

“Is free love and drugs included?”
No but the $20 per hour minimum wage they demand can buy them hookers and weed.
... with unicorn droppings on the side..
I want the crust cut off my bread....
oh yeah..I also want a flying unicorn with sidemounted 20mm miniguns and a new Viking stadium with a concourse named after me with spiral escalators
and artwork done by the people who graduated with art degrees and can’t find a job so they hang out on Wall St.
Just made me realize how good it was we were kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
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 nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Oh, these three are rich.
So ... get rid of all but about 2% of our electrical generation capacity, *AND* open the borders to any Jose Gangbanger or Ahmed SuicideBomber?
And I'll bet they'll want to keep their iPads and flatscreens and Starbucks $5 lattes ... man, these nitwits are delusional.
All I can say is: Thank God and the Founding Fathers for Amendment II.
In all fairness, the website these are pulled from is not any type of “official” website (the website the info is pulled from makes that plainly clear). It would be like pulling some information from one of the fringe tea party websites out there and saying that information is official dogma for the entire tea party. You can find another list of their “demands” here. http://coupmedia.org/occupywallstreet/occupy-wall-street-official-demands-2009
The closest you’ll probably find to any type of official statements from them as a group is the we are the 99% tumbler blog at http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/.
And they gotta dig Bonzo up from the grave to make it authentic, to boot.
Meanwhile the DUmmies are fighting over whether they have a right to seize private property.

OK, Mr. and Ms. HippieFreak, YOU be the universal single payer!
Demand fourteen: We want ponies - or we’ll hold our breath until we turn blue.
I would indeed laugh . But like any good DemRat they never give up or give in . So they Must be taken somewhat seriously .
Hey, at least they didn’t mention the Palestinians. Or Mumia.
“raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.”
Why not a million? Then we’d be rich!
It must be horrible to KNOW deep down inside that you’re useless.
Actually, in some of the crowd scenes, I thought I saw Bonzo
“Yeah, so what is the incentive to work at all?”
Fraternal love? No, wait, probably they’ll hold guns on the heads of the able.
I want chocalate milk served at lunch and an hour of playtime afterwards, before my mid-afternoon nap.
I can’t help but wonder why all the self-proclaimed broke people in the photos shown at http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/ don’t go sell their computers and camera’s.
I may have to submit a picture to them later...
