The Demands of Occupy Wall Street have now been published

[FCTP]

Here they are.  Shall we give them their demands?  

 

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.

It does cover a lot of complaints I hear in various videos of them from around the web.It may or may not be "official" but the boots on the ground sure don't mind chanting for these things.

ok i see every one is trying to say this is not real list .ok what the hell do thay want it sounds like the exact stuff the" flip flops on the ground" have said in every interview that I have seen so lets see a real list of demands .

Obviously these people were never taught any basic economics and it is sad that these people actually vote.

I went to the Occupy Wall Street site and found this:

Admin note: This is not an official list of demands. This is a forum post submitted by a single user and hyped by irresponsible news/commentary agencies like Fox News and Mises.org. This content was not published by the OccupyWallSt.org collective, nor was it ever proposed or agreed to on a consensus basis with the NYC General Assembly. There is NO official list of demands.

So now who do we believe . . .

You know I have defending the OWS to a point but man these demands are just plain stupid.  I wonder if they know that there are equal rights regardless of gender or race.  That would adversely effect black people because that would do away with affirmative action.

 

What is funny is they are complaining about Wall Street and government corruption but yet all of their demands revolve around government.  Sometimes people really should stop for a minute and think about what they say before they open their mouths.

 

They talk about all of the jobs that would be created but they are getting rid of the private insurance industry which would lay off all of those people.  Then they will close the banks by forgiving all debt which would put more people out of work.  The oil, coal, nuclear industries all destroyed more jobs lost.  Free college would put most colleges out of business more jobs gone. 

 

Also what would the living wage be I'm sure it would be higher then minimum wage.  If you look at every time they raise the minimum wage minorities and youths are the ones that suffer the most.  Enforcing a living wage would only cause more jobs to be lost.

 

All I really see is more and more government I want more and more liberty.

Is this a great country or what??  I sure could have used that $20.00 per hour wage when I was coming up and I like that  " Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment."  You forgot to mention demand fourteen which in part states that all occupiers be moved immediately to the planet Mars because that's the only way any of this is going to become a reality .... peace

This is "just another list"... the URL that you link to says "PROPOSED". There is no "official list" as near as I can tell. Good grief... the very first thing on the page says... "Admin note: This is not an official list of demands."

[jimmy hill]

wow  not sure how to responded it looks like a child made the list .while we are at it can we all have a pony.and a tree fort. and for our fort can magic fairys build it for free and the tree can it grow money.I could go on but its not going to change the minds of these minipulated sad puppets of the left. i do love the part were the union guys put his two cents in and of course obamas part i am really suprised that one of the demands was not the aucomatic permanent instatement of obama as leader of all things on earth.lol

[Tracy]

I wonder where they think all the "free' stuff will come from?

[Kate Svagdis]

Communists???? Or Am I missing something
