I see no real list of demands or ideas. eliminate tax loop holes eliminate laws passed allowing pensions to be pillaged stopping lobbyists end corporations as people stop super pacs actually hold representitives to ethic vows and such
here's a real Idea for you. Stop voting for democrats and when they change their party name don't vote for anything that smells democrat. A Simple Idea and will do wonders for the country, THEN we can worry about helping the rest of the world. The Democrat party has been a Cancer on our government since the civil war. Every time we start heading in the right direction one of these criminals gets elected and it's back to square one. Our problem now is that it will take 20 years or more to fix what this latest democrat has destroyed and Americans forget after a few years how bad things were and the Next joker be bops in playing his saxophone and riding the wave republicans made.
Me? Jimmy Carter made me a republican, ONLY because there isn't another real party to support.
We the people are the government, the collective. There are some things we can do better individually, there are some things we prefer to do individually, and there are some things that just work better collectively.
Infrastructure should be an ovious one for the collective. We argue about healthcare. It would be a big change. Surgeons and GP's would have to get used to making about a third as much as they do now, we might have to pay them to go to school, which many countries with socialized healthcare do. Defense should be clearly paid for by the collective.
I have this idea though. I have never liked the idea that corporations which are entrenched in the Military-Industrial Complex are investor and stockholder driven. That means that members of terrorist groups or financial backers of those groups could hold stocks in those corprations and we would never know it.
I would like to creat a special class of Not-for-profit corporation that does not have stockholders MIC, a Military Industrial Corporation. They can not hire lobbyists or make a profit. They can only make enough money to pay their employees, like any other not for profit. They can pay themselves and their employees whatever they want, in this way competition might produce better quality and innovation.
But, I am really tired of corporations making money off the blood of soldiers.
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.
Everybody seems to have the perfect solution. The problem is, that nobody agrees with anybody.
There are good ideas (some along the lines you suggest) but they are few and far between. There's a lot of noise and nuttiness but every now and then some interesting discussion/ideas.
Not really. OWS is getting kind of boring.
I read a good idea about peeing in bottles at the park. Other than that, not so much.
I demand ideas.
