The "Occupy Wall Street" protesters have listed 13 proposed demands from their website.
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.
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.
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.

And Ron Paul supports these loons.
Hmmm. Quite a list.
This action list would truly kill the economy.
Demand #1 is a real job killer. $20 an hour minimum wage?
Bub-bye, baby!
There's much more fun than that to be had combining the items on this list to see the "unintended" intended consequences.
Freepers get creative!
LOL, that can’t be serious can it?
is it?
Little league trophies for everyone!!! (snark)
How about we combine #5 and #6...and build all that infrastructure without burning fossil fuels. I got it! We go back to the way the Egyptians built the Pyramids - $20 per hour to haul concrete by rope!
“Demand one” is a good idea, except for the minimum wage part.
“Demand ten” - they didn’t really think that one through.
free college, LOL idiots there is noting free in this world as someone always has to pay for it in some way shape or form, that is unless these liberal professors who encourage and brainwash these idiots work for nothing and somehow I doubt they will do that.
Yet again these idiots on the left show themselves up for being the dummies they are.
Even late night TV shows are making fun of them.
These people don't see the United States as a land of opportunity, with the freedom to pursue happiness, and the best form of government available. They see the United States as a fat pig on a platter, with an apple in its mouth. They want to plunder all the wealth, resources, and freedoms we have to get it.
“Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.”
MY FAVORITE
And finally, WORLD PEACE!
All demand that’s missing is “Someone to wipe my ass!”
I laughed.
Does he? What did he say, other than supporting their right to protest peacefully without being abused by police? Which would apply to any of us.
“Why make Trillions when you can make.......BILLIONS!”
Well, damn if they didn't just figure out the nation's debt problem!
I thought this was interesting:
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted...
Makes you think who’s driving the “computer counting of ballots is too easy to fake” movement.
for every demand, read: “I want someone else to pay for it while I languish on my lard-ass in Mommy’s basement”
Demand Fourteen: The right to continue to live in my Parent’s basement and play video games all day.
Demand Fifteen: Pants optional Tuesday.
Demand Sixteen: The ACME company sued for all those terrible things they create which enabled the Coyote to relentlessly attack Roadrunner.
Demand Seventeen: Removal of all, and I mean ALL, microchips impanted in US Citizens by the CIA, FBI, IRS as well as acronyms exceeding three letters.
Demand Eighteen: Spaceflight no longer limited to greedy Corporate CEO’s. Everyone should have a chance to visit with Yoda, James Kirk, and ET. I mean, come on!
Demand Nineteen: Implementation of extensive use of the umlat in country and western bands - there is no longer a need to restrict this to heavy metal.
Demand Fifteen:Free cable. Premium channels and NFL Season Pass for all.
Demand Sixteen: Really hot super-models have to date chunky middle-aged balding guys at least twice a month
Demand Seventeen: Amnesty for library fines and for parking tickets you got with your dad's car.
I knew they were crazy, but this is funny farm crazy.
Demand fourteen: Forced sterilization of all these humanoids so they cannot reproduce more idiots.
Demand Twenty: Everyone gets a yacht. Wait, two yachts. No, three yachts. Make that...
“Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.”
Why bother to work at all? While they’re at it, I want guaranteed non-fattening chocolate ice cream that tastes exactly like fattening chocolate ice cream. After all, it’s a “human right”. ;)
15. Free Upsidazium for all.
Why didn’t they just make it simple and ask for communism? That is what I see as I read the “demands”.
Sorta defeats free college for everyone, doesn’t it.
I made comments about those DEMANDS at Wednesday Rush Thread — Post 68 I believe.
Demand 1: Raise minimum wage to $20/hr.
Demand 3: Pay everyone minimum wage whether they have a job or not.
Demand 9: Open the borders officially to all comers.
How could this possibly not work?
Demand no. 20... free skittles
Demand no. 21.... Free Barney the dinosaur snuggies.
The wish list of a million dumb*** spoiled brat college students who haven’t a clue what “real” life is all about!
Meh...
f’n pathetic. it embarrasing what they feel they need or are entitled to.
at least in the middle east, they are trying to get rid of goverments that are happy to kill them if the population gets in the way. the idiots here just want someone else to pay their way. its like the rest of the world is trying to live, and these brats want someone to fluff their pillow.
“Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.”
Lazy bunch of maggot invested pukes!
I will REVOLT before this happens! Not going to happen unless they want a freaking WAR!
We will trade our fossil fuels for rainbows and unicorns...like...tomorrow.
If you think that is embarrassing guess who is joining them now?!
Transit Union in New York joins them today for their little march!
NYC Transit Union Joins Occupy Wall Street
New York City labor unions are preparing to back the unwieldy grassroots band occupying a park in Lower Manhattan, in a move that could mark a significant shift in the tenor of the anti-corporate Occupy Wall Street protests and send thousands more people into the streets.
The Transit Workers Union Local 100’s executive committee, which oversees the organization of subway and bus workers, voted unanimously Wednesday night to support the protesters. The union claims 38,000 members. A union-backed organizing coalition, which orchestrated a large May 12 march on Wall Street before the protests, is planning a rally on Oct. 5 in explicit support. And SEIU 32BJ, which represents doormen, security guards and maintenance workers, is using its Oct. 12 rally to express solidarity with the Zuccotti Park protesters.
“The call went out over a month ago, before actually the occupancy of Wall Street took place,” said 32BJ spokesman Kwame Patterson. Now, he added, “we’re all coming under one cause, even though we have our different initiatives.”

******
The union representing more than 1,500 GO Transit workers is set to announce a new strike date on Wednesday – and employees could be off the job by the end of the month.
“Later this afternoon, early this evening, I will be announcing a strike date - and it will be for this month,” union president Ray Doyle told CityNews.ca.
Unions ARE corporations. Fat cats at the top, worker bees on the bottom getting the shaft...unless you’re part of their good ‘ol boy network.
‘Give us your youth, we’ll take your country.’

We demand a shrubbery!!!!
And except for the isolationist tariff part, and the environmental regulations part, and for the entire notion of a "living wage" part. Other than that, it's a great idea.
If they can't do this:
in the US, they shouldn't be able to move their facilities to China to be able to avoid the expense of preventing it, and then ship the fruits of that poisoned tree back to the US.
Further, American workers shouldn't have to compete on price with slave labor. Impose a tariff on imported goods that at least brings the cost of the labor component up to US minimum wage.
