The demands are ridiculous. Multi TRILLIONS in new spending ! Do you guys not understand the US IS FLAT BROKE !! We are borrowing OVER 40 cents on EVERY DOLLAR SPENT by the US ! All debt forgiven, you have got to be kidding, never gonna happen. Free college for all, never gonna happen. You should protest for one clear change that can start things in a positive direction. With this wish list you might as well demand being flown to Mars to live in giant domed cities. How about these. 1) No private campaign contributions all campaigns publicly funded 2) End wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. 3) Audit the Federal Reserve 4) Criminal investigations and prosecution of perpetrators of massive fraud causing the financial crisis 5) End the ridiculous "war on drugs" and treat drug addiction as a medical problem I could go on, but I would be happy with any of the first three.
END THE FED restore SOUND MONEY

How do we end the War on Drugs ?
This is a good start, but you need to go the head your screaming at the monsters feet. wall street starts at K street .
The Communist Corporatist System is ran by the family's that have worked in the bureaus that we can't elect. these are the same family's that have worked there from the beginning and if you think that they don't have family in the DOD your wrong.
the demands sound a lot like the Obama jobs bill on steroids don't they?
Don't get distracted by the nonsense being pushed out of the White House. You probably know the Fed is privately owned and funds both MSNBC and Fox. "Mainstream" media = Baghdad Bob, ignore that shit. Focus on spreading your own good ideas.
Yes. The people are well meaning, but their "demands" are not based on reality. If they don't focus their goals they will just be viewed as nutballs by the American people. They are not going to change the world into their view of Utopia by sitting around Manhattan and demonstrating. They need a clear, realistic message grounded in reality.
Remove Wall Street from Congress with Term Limits.
You are "they" you are us ... you are contributing ... you are helping focus our goals ... We are the 99% ...
Point well made.
