These imbeciles are just as dumb as we thought. Occupy Wall Street protesters posted a proposed list of demands on their website today.
Thankfully, most American fifth graders aren’t this stupid.
From the Occupy Wall Street website, via Picket and Loesch:
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.
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. 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.
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.
These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.
Unreal. So who put this together for them anyway?… Van Jones?… Media Matters?
RE: Where the minimum wage is $20, a glass of beer costs $10. I’ve seen it for myself (Copenhagen).
Shakespeare was right, something is rotten in Denmark.... and I wonder how much a gallon og gasoline costs.
Up till now this thing has been the punchline to a bad joke.
I don’t expect that to continue. The Left cannot stand to be held up for ridicule. I expect the unions to start showing up en-masse and for some serious violence to ensue.
10 years ago, the photoshopped pictures would have been all we saw
And the media would have proclaimed that AMERICA has spoken! We want socialism!
Now (Thank GOD for Fox news and the internet) we see them for what they are- brain dead morons.
Fox had an interview with some of them and they are too stupid to be allowed to walk free. (Except for that blonde ‘indian’ chick- I will believe anything she wants me to believe!!!)
That's because they thought they were going to actually get their demands met (by the WH and Pelosi) and didn't need to bray like jackasses about it.
It’s not like they planned it or anything. This is a grass roots uprising (didn’t you read the NYTimes). Not like the corporate funded Tea party (I actually think they believe this nonsense).
I am so glad the Tea Party happened. it shows the glaring contrast between a REAL “grass roots” uprising and this Soros funded crap (pardon my french).
This list seems redundant. Once you do this:
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.
Then there’s no need for this:
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
Who would continue to ever loan money to anyone?
RE: Demand four: Free college education.
Which leads to the next question -— FREE FOR WHO?
Who’s going to pay? Or do they intend for all colleges and universities to be owned by the state?
I’d love to turn that one around on them!
“Free college for everyone - and no fat-cat college professors are “allowed” to earn more than $50,000
Knowlege should be free for everyone”
And those greedy professors should be allowed to ‘profit’ from knowlege.”
Why not $100 per hour and 4 weeks guaranteed vacation?
RE: Why not $100 per hour and 4 weeks guaranteed vacation?
I’ll raise you to $200/hr and 6 weeks guaranteed vacation.
In the words of Chico Marx, “I got plenty higher numbers.”
they really dont want to work.
My Mom and Step-Father set me straight on the same subject. Mom said, "there is no such thing as government money, it is all taxpayer's money". That's not all she said but I have always remembered that line the best.

Winter will be fast approaching. Perhaps some early snow falls in mid late fall will occur. I wonder if they plan on having an UPS truck deliver them snow shoes and sterno cans.
Absolutely.
LLS
The $20 an hour isn’t for them. They don’t work.
lol
these idiots must want 20% unemployment.
They've addressed that particular problem.
From their list:
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.Apparently, the unemployed are to continue getting that wage even though they're not working.
I also have thirteen demands but they are all the same: STFU you unwashed punks and get out of your parent’s basement and get a real job.
I have to admit, from most pictures I’ve seen, at least this time they’ve got better looking female protestors than before.
At least some of them.
