Demands from protesters, according to Reuters:

* Increase personal tax brackets for top earners * Enshrine the right to housing in the law; introduce rent controls; boost mortgage relief * Stop further privatization of things such as health facilities * Provide free education for all from the age of three months * Raise the minimum wage to 50 percent of the average wage

I like this one: Provide free education for all from the age of three months

On their demands, I up them and leave them with just one to focus on. Personal Responsibility. Once they master that one we can beginning to further their education.

I wonder if they meant to say free state indoctrination versus free education.

My favorite is the minimum wage. Why not make it $200 an hour and we’ll all be rich!

I have my own set of counter demands:

1. Automatic 1 year hard labor for all caught looting.
2. Those who drop out of basic education before completing the equivalent of high school are required to pay the country back an amount that covers their earlier education expenses, unless they can pass an equivalency test.
3. All are required to pay some tax, even those in the lowest brackets.
4. Privatize anything that can be privatized.
5. Let employers decide the minimum wage, but at the same time levy large fines on any business that hires illegal immigrants or that breaks child labor laws.
6. Enshrine the right of individuals to distinguish themselves through their own honest hard work, ingenuity, and efforts, and guarantee their right to the profits from their efforts.

I’m sure there’s much more we could add.
