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.

Ah yes, the classic free trade argument, just like how the United Nations is supposed to be teach all those cocoa farmers to grow coffee?  Because that's worked out so well.  Free trade only works between countries of comparable economies, ie Canada and the US, not between countries of differing economies, ie US and Mexico.

Twenty dollars an hour minimum wage.  What the amateur redistributionist economists at Occupy Wall Street don't understand is that when minimum wage is raised, two things happen 1) inflationary pressure drives up prices, so shortly that $20 an hour won't buy what it did when it was first raised, and 2) companies are not going to raise their current wages in proportion to the rise in the minimum wage.  I know this last one first hand.  I remember working at RR Donnelley and Sons in Mattoon when the minimum wage went up.  I was earning $10.50 an hour and a minimum wage increase had just passed.  I asked my supervisor if we would see an increase in our pay to reflect the change; he stated no.  As a result, I lost about $1.o0 worth of buying power I had over those working lesser paying jobs because of the increase.  

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.

Obamacare, I get it.  Don't get too attached to it whiners because thanks to Harry Reid if the GOP takes the Senate, keeps the House, and takes the Presidency, the GOP only has to change the rules of the Senate and we can repeal Obamacare outright with a simple majority vote.  Precedent, the double edged sword.

Living wage.  What is considered a living wage?  Ricardo's Iron Law of Wages does not apply in the United States.  Are there jobs that are underpaid?  Sure, but that's only because somebody is willing to do the job.  If there wasn't somebody to fill the position, then either the businessman must do it himself or must increase his wages in order to attract somebody to fill the needed position.  That's the dirty secret is wages operate on the principle of supply and demand.

Regardless of employment?  There is a difference between jobs, and there should be a difference between pay.  I have a hard time believing somebody flipping burgers would get paid enough to make a mortgage payment, car payment and send kids through school.  I guess it could be done, but I hope you like paying $25 for a Whopper or $70 for that double mocha latte.

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.

The evil oil corporations. Or is it the environment?  Like it or not, without fossil fuels, we might as well go back to the days before the Industrial Revolution while other countries like China continue to grow.  By the way, if Bush was in bed with Halliburton and the left consistently makes mention of that (even 3 years after Bush left office), why no outcry by the same idiots regarding Obama and Solyndra?  Third World status, here we come!

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.

The Johnny Appleseed plan.  There is nothing wrong with being good stewards of the environment, but I suppose we should do away with hydrological energy (gasp! non-fossil fuel energy) by demolishing the Hoover Dam and the rest of the dams across the country to restore the "natural flow of river systems".  Of course that means we have to demolish the lock system on the Mississippi as well.  Nuclear power decommissioning.  Guess the protesters don't like charging their iPhones. I could live with the nuclear power going away as long as we convert nuclear to and build Thorium plants.  But until then, Montgomery Burns, fire them reactors up.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Racial equal rights amendment?  It's called the 14th amendment.  There's also this thing called the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  This demand is like screaming Free Mandela! when he's already been freed.  Gender equal rights.  The ERA amendment has been dead for over 20 years.  At the heart of this demand is gay rights.  If a transgender transexual hermaphrodite eskimo wants to do what he/she wants, that's fine, but I'm not cool with him/her marrying himself/herself.

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

I've warned my readers about the United Nations International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families before, I'll let you read up on it because there's just too much to explain here at this time.  By the way, ask Europe how that open borders thing works for them...it doesn't.  This demand also harkens to that whole concept that citizenship is wrong and unfair and that we are all just people on the same planet.  Barf.

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.

Dear protesters, we already have observers, their called poll watchers.  Anybody can be a poll watcher if you are a Precinct Committeeman attached to a major party or if you are appointed as a poll watcher by a campaign.  We don't need the international community prying their eyes into our election process; it works and works damn good.  One last thing.  Each major party can appoint one person in each county to sit up at the County Clerk's office to watch the ballots being counted (at least in Illinois that's the way it works). It's usually done under watch of law enforcement as well. 

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.

Here's the Latin American socialist ideas at work.  Debt forgiveness.  God forbid you pay back what you owe.  Do you go to a restaurant, eat dinner and then not pay?  Of course not. 

The only thing missing in these demands is land redistribution Latin America style!  Here's an idea for the protesters: if you don't have the money, then don't buy stuff you can't afford.  Don't buy a house just because you want a house despite a crappy interest rate.  Don't rack up credit card debt. "Gimme stuff for free" seems to be the mantra of this bunch of unwashed liberals.

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

This would do nothing more than penalize those that actually pay their bills on time and watch their spending.  Now they want redistribution of credit.

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.

At the core of the socialist movement is the union.  Read The Jungle.  The first part of the book is the part we all learn in school about worker safety, food regulations, etc.  The second part of the book, we rarely learn in school - it's the part where Upton Sinclair's book devolves into a socialist pamphlet. 

I have many union friends and they love being in a union, but they hate the union itself from Hoffa Jr. on down.  I was talking with one of my union friends Sunday evening.  He just got a letter from his union stating that he can no longer expect 100% pension at 62 and that he must now wait until 65 to collect 100%.  He was pissed.  He was asking why he should wait because 100% at 65 is not what his union promised him.  He was now cursing the very organization that "gave him his great job".  Remember one thing.  Unions had their place, but unions are only in it for the upper leadership, they could care less about the rank and file member - just as long as they pay their dues.

These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.
