Proposed List Of Demands For Occupy Wall St Movement!
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.
Imagine how much money a cheeseburger would cost if the guys working the grill made $20/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.
O RLY?
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Why the fuck would you get a job?
Demand four: Free college education.
Because the fact most kids graduating college nowadays don’t have a job means we need more kids graduating college?
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.
Good idea, just in time for us to have hippiecicles when you can’t afford electricity on your “living wage.”
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.
So you’ll be able to burn wood for heat when you can’t afford your electricity bills?
Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Because if you’re giving away $20/hour to not work we’ll be the world’s biggest destination for deadbeats.
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.
Yeah, because that worked real well in 2000.
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.
WOOOOO FREE CARS!
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
I’d rather invest in something which I don’t understand, thanks. May I please have four cotton balls worth of Apple stock, please?
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.
I think what you’re trying to say is “Make them form a union at any point they don’t want to form a union.”
This, America, is why we can’t have nice things.
Is this real? I mean this has to be a joke, right? THESE are the ramblings all these folks are protesting (or whatever the hell we’re calling it today) for?
I can’t even…
wow
..and again, glad you’re back
