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 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.

1. Socialism.
2. Marxism.
3. Communism.
4. Democrats in power! (But I repeat myself).
I'll just post the only one you didn't post so people don't have to click on their webiste:
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.
Slothonomics.
All these people voted for Mr. “Dope & Blame”
Do these people realize that the economy of the US and the world would collapse almost instantly if their “Demands” were met?
Free this, forgive that, guaranteed living wage, free health care, free college education, etc...
Why do you need an education if everything is going to be free?
Idiots.
And they call “the rich” greedy?
These people are the greediest people ever, wanting free everything for doing nothing.
What’s wrong with demand 10?
I don't see anything in their demands about all the regs that chase U.S. business overseas. This does not mean workplace safety or environmental protection needs to be or should be eased. But on the regulatory side there is a mountain of compliance regs that are a terrible burden to business, burdens that satisfy the government but do nothing to keep a workplace safe or the environment clean.
It's the only one that makes any sense.
I read the demands and thought it was satire. Nope. They’re serious.
I went to the link and read some of the comments. They’re pretty funny. The organizers of the protest are trying to decide if 13 demands are too many, or if they should put lazier-like focus on 3 to 9 that are easy to make into slogans.
Wow.
For accuracy, this appears to be a post of one person posting to a forum on the Occupy Wall Street website. It does not appear to be a formal or official list of demands.
The list should not be taken seriously. Does anyone have the official list? We need to deal in facts here.
Note to anyone: How do you spell double entondra? My spelling must be so off I can't find it.
It’s double entendre.
Who would be the “independent observers” and who would decide whether they’re really independent?
If I were the “Market” I would tell Mayor Bloomy that if thoese maggots are there Monday the market does not open.
If they’re serious, they’re idiots, based on their seriously idiotic, not to mention impossible, demands.
entendre
This list HAS to be satire. Someone please tell me it is.
Seven years of college down the drain...
LOL! No thanks...I won’t use an evil corporation ISP to tarnish their home!
I think they just buried themselves with those demands.
