Two weeks into Occupy Wall Street protests, movement is at a crossroads

That's how they win the race--Convincing you to stay comfortable.

I think we are at a moment when we need to decide what needs fixing and what things are not working and what ways to solve them so everyone benefits and not just a select few.

No, far too much is broken for that to work....what we need to do is figure out what we need to get working right so that we can fix all the rest. We have to get the political system functional again, get Washington functioning again, and then from there work of fixing the rest of the nation.

But if the leaders are corrupt and benefit with the current system that favors them, they won't be inclined to make any changes. Why fix something if it's not broken from their perspective?

America belongs to all Americans, not just those sitting in chairs in the capital, White HOuse and SCOTUS.

America needs a little revolution now and then, and now is one of those times.

You are finally beginning to understand what the Tea Party is all about,

By Neal Boortz

The Libtards occupying Wall Street have come up with a proposed list of their demands. You are going to enjoy these .. are you ready?

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.

Let’s let the Occupy Wall Street crowd run Haiti for a few years utilizing these demands and see how well that works out for them. Gawd help us.

We should make this column by Peter Ferrara required reading for all of the unemployables occupying Wall Street: Economic Growth, Not Income Redistribution, Is What Helps Us All.

The odd, non-organized yet tightly self-controlled organization "didn’t vary from the message we have conveyed since the beginning — the broad sense that people are frustrated by the unfairness of economic inequality," says Tyler Combelic, one of the organizers of the group.

I can relate and it does have the value of getting the message out there, the tax laws are in favor of the CEOs and the very rich rather than the average joe plumber. Wages have been stagnated and companies have been making profits but not hiring here at home or at all and just sitting on their profits.



Income Gap Between Rich, Poor the Widest Ever


Obama had not been addressing this for two years, he is starting to now that it is election time. Republicans and congress would do well to listen up as well as their poll numbers are so low. When our government tells people that we have to cut into SS and Medicare but then we do nothing to raise revenue, it gets ordinary people, including tea party members many of which are senior citizens, it gets people mad. Why do we always get the shaft and have to giving subsides to oil companies and the like? It don't make any sense and I think it is that dissatisfaction which resonates with people.

Ghandi march to the sea was a protest against english oppression.

Demonstration itself is a powerful thing.
