I've come to a serious decision. I've decided to abandon the Tea Party movement and modern American conservatism and be something quite different. Coming home from Texas on Tuesday, our local radio station was discussing this group and its proposed list of demands. After thinking about it and how great these demands would make my life, I've decided to convert.

Okay who is with me?

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

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.

Hmmm, seeing as the link itself clearly states that this list was generated by a single person, I don't see why you would attribute it to the movement as a whole.
 
As Mudwhistle put it...

"What do we want?"

"We don't know!"

When to we want it?"

"Now!"

Yea, I'm in.

Just ignore that. It isn't important. What is important is to become a part of the solution instead of fighting it. Don't you agree?
 
It's not good enough. I want EVERYTHING for free.

Patience Love. It’s a start. A little here. A little more there. Soon enough we’ll have it all!

Where were you when the TEA Parties were protesting those really responsible for your ills? Huh? Where?
 
Hmmm, seeing as the link itself clearly states that this list was generated by a single person, I don't see why you would attribute it to the movement as a whole.

So....what are the aims that you attribute to same?

Here, this may help:

A liberal organizer told the Daily Caller on Thursday afternoon that he paid some Hispanics to attend “Occupy DC” protests happening in the nation’s capital.

TheDC attended the protest event, an expansion of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement that began in New York City. Some aspects of the protest, it turned out, are more Astroturf than grassroots.

One group of about ten Hispanic protesters marched behind a Caucasian individual from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting rent control in Washington, D.C.

Asked why they were there, some Hispanic protesters holding up English protest signs could not articulate what their signs said.

Interviewed in Spanish, the protesters told conflicting stories about how their group was organized. Some said it was organized at their church, and that they were there as volunteers. Others, however, referred to the man from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition — the only Caucasian in the group — as their “boss.”

I was too busy being brainwashed into calling them tea-baggers. Now I know we pretty much have the same grievances: corruption and graft.

I am truly sorry.

Please hold off until I take a second mortgage on the house and loans on the boat, truck and tractor, you know, all the stuff I own outright.

But your supporters are still calling them tea-baggers... and racists.... and a whole bunch of other 'charming' names.

They started this, not you. They are the 99%. Your fucking leaders are playing you. They don't give a shit about Wall St. They give a shit about destroying this Republic - and they are using you to do it. Maybe you mean well... maybe you don't. I don't much care either way. I care only that puppets like you are making it easy for them to push their agenda.

Do your research on the people behind your 'spontaneous' movement.
