Occupy Wall Street (the WE party) Demands (ie., Focused Actions) If this organization wishes to be taken seriously and have an enormous effect on the future on 99% of the US population, it should consider actions that will achieve the following governmental changes: 1) Eliminate the consideration of corporations as entities that can make election contributions. 2) Eliminate the "Electoral College" and replace it with the popular vote. 3) Implement fiscal controls an corporations and its executives insuring equitable share in taxation based on income.
1) excellent, 100% agree.
2) Using a popular vote in a federal election would be a Democracy. America is not a Democracy. 3) Income tax is progressive, this demand is currently in place (unless you are just trying to make "make them pay more" sound nicer)
