Where are these kids parents? In the crowds with them?

If I find out my kid goes to one of these rallies she is going to find herself figuring out how to pay for her tuition or how to get a job sooner rather than later.

"Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign"

Like when a couple of union goons show up at your door with a ballot and say "Me n' tha boys wuz thinking youse ought sign this here ballot, before something bad happens to ya, right boys?"

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

When you go to work and do a good job, you will be guaranteed to EARN a living wage. If you feel you are not...you are free to travel anywhere in the 50 United States to find the living wage to EARN.

That wage you demand must come from those who create wealth & productivity. As much as you shame and rant against Free Trade, an open borders policy in regards to work puts your very dreams of a living wage at risk of failure. The very first step in securing your future rests in securing your borders.

“Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.”

Kind of like the 14th amendment?

Demand four: Free college education.
Academic Earth has on-line courses for credit, which while they cost $600-$950, are quite a bit less expensive than many universities. You still need to have the discipline to follow through with the studying.

Does that mean that they'll start giving favorable treatment to aging white males in the workplace, despite their qualifications and abilities?

You have to read this list to believe it. Read all the handout demands and then they want open border to Mexico too so they can all sign up the poor Mexicans for it all, free college, free healthcare, free income(welfare or a government job) ,.....

Once again, they never demanded all this stupid stuff in 2009 and 2010 when Pelosi ran the House with Obama in the WH.

RE :"Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period. "

Something tells be that could backfire like those ATM Durbin fees did, but on a much much larger scale.

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.

Oh now that's just cheating. They have three or four demands in this single demand. Is this stream-of-consciousness ransoming?

To say these people are clueless is the understatement of the last thousand years.

These people need to be rounded up, stripped of the US Citizenship they find so onerous, and deported to the People’s Paradise of their choice: Canuckistan, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Nigeria, or anyplace other than here.

Canuckistan

That's too close. Plus, the Canuks are economically blowing our doors off at the moment.
