Proposed List Of Demands For Occupy Wall St Movement! | OccupyWallSt.org Forum

Living wage regardless of employment
Open Borders
No nuclear power
End fossil fuel economy
Free College education
Single Payer healthcare
Raise min wage to $20/hr
Debt forgiveness for everyone on the planet


No wonder they want BHO re-elected. They have the right to protest and I have the right to say they're a bunch of morons without regard for anything that has to do with individual responsibility.

These people are stupid. Gotta quote Billy Bob Thornton from Bad Santa: "Wish in one hand and s--t in the other hand, and see which one fills up first."

Who made these demands? It sounds like a high school student, definately somebody naive .

These are the "people" who think they are in the majority, and will rule the world some day.

Just because someone refuses to work doesn't mean they shouldn't have the best of everything.



These fools really don't realize they'll be some of the ones forced to work at gunpoint for starvation wages.

Where did they get this magical "99%" statistic, anyway?

81% of the time 22% of the stastics are made up on the spot.

What's your source?

 

[Blackhawk2001]

They are demanding government-forced redistribution of wealth.

I don't comprehend how this qualifies as anarchy.

Well, at least some of them are calling themselves "anarchists." Now they may be as clueless as you seem to be, but I guess we'll have to let folks' perceptions sort that all out at length.

I was discussing the list of demands.

They were not anarchist by any stretch of the imagination. There may have been some anarchists there as well.

I'm not going to call you any names though.

A start? A start for what? The New Soviet Union's latest satellite country. Which of those can you honestly support? (Not including the paper ballot one. I could probably get behind that; though I'd much prefer an inked finger to prevent multiple votes.) Everything on their list is designed to erode the individual liberties, wipe out personal responsibility, and hand every last bit of control over to the federal government. Surely you don't support any of that. Please tell me you don't support that.

Check that link again, there appear to be at least 2 lists of demands floating around out there. Which is unsurprising from a large, organic protest of diverse people with no true leader.

In fact, both of these lists appear to be nothing more than forum threads posted by individuals. The media took the most extreme one and ran with it, trying to pigeonhole the entire movement based on one thread.

You keep using that word, pigeon-hole. No one is pigeon-holing anybody. Regardless of which list you want to use, the same characterization of the participants will be reached. You can fool yourself if you want by limiting your scrutiny to the superficial similarities you may or may not hold with them. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist--although my husband does agree--that there isn't a demand out there that is presented for the expansion and preservation of the individual's liberty. Every last on item is predicated on the consequences it will have for the collective good. Translation: every last item furthers their goal towards a communistic society under authoritarian rule.

That sums it up perfectly.

I'm not certain that all of the participants are fully aware of the magnitude of what this movement wants to accomplish. ...Just a bunch of sheep that want to feel like they're a part of something big.

LOL!

Do these idiots have no clue how the economy works?

Pay for doing nothing. Immigrants being given generous social benefits, including free college & healthcare. No nuclear or fossil fuel energy...requiring hydroelectric, solar, & wind only...increasing power costs 10-fold or more. A minimum wage that's within a few hundred of my annual salary. Debt mulligans?...

So...sounds like a living wage would end up being $40k/yr due to increased energy costs. Plumbers would cost as much as lawyers. Nobody would become doctors. Businesses wouldn't be able to afford employees. Loan interest would skyrocket to 20% or better because of mass default.

Yeah, that should fix things...

Interesting how the last part of that vid he talks about how to co-opt TEA party folks by going after banks (Actually - the problem is with ONE bank - The Federal Reserve) - but Lerner likes to lump anyone with money into the "Evil" side...

 

[ATOMonkey]

Maybe it's already been covered, but why do all these protests always take place during work hours?

I think it can be summed up by:

END THE FINANCIAL OPPRESSION NOW!!!

[PistolBob]

What financial oppression? Is it oppression when you borrow money and then refuse to pay it back? Is it oppression when you ask for a loan that you know you can't repay? Is it oppression when you demand subsidies like free education for yourself, while stealing the money from your neighbor?

That's what I thought.

Financial Oppression is when I have to give the state money every year for the right to live on my paid for property. It's when I have to pay an extra $12 a month on my phone bill so kids in Appalachia can have free internet. It's when my kid has to pay $5 a day for his school lunch so some other kid can have theirs for free.
