Fight for #1. Split up the banks from the speculators- We will stand against Citi and Goldman and Morgan and BofA and WellsFargo and Chase.
Fight for #2. Control the Gamblers: Advocate a tax of 30% on Short Term Capital Gains for first 2 years (No Deducting Losses)- no matter what your tax bracket is. Speculation destroys Stability. IRAs get hurt.
Fight for #3... 2,000 of the $Millionaire Incomes Pay ZERO IRS Tax. Find out what they're hiding behind: Credits, Exemptions, Exclusions, Caps, Deductions, Tax Breaks, Loopholes. Tell Congress Super Committee to 'Make Things Right'.
Fight for #8. US Attorney filed suit in Sept against 17 Banks that killed the Home Mortgage Economy. Tell the State Attorney Generals to Negotiate HARD with Banks trying to get IMMUNITY- BofA, Morgan, Chase, Goldman...
Fight for #9. Stop WellsFargo from eating up local banks and creating a monopoly and boosting surcharges.
Fight for #17. Keep your Faith in America. Focus on the Greed of a few CEO's and UNIONs. Do Not Broad-Brush. Continue to be Civil, Sanitary, and Orderly. Do Not Let Violence Hijack the Movement. America is gathering around you. Make a List of Demands. Organize a Task Force for each Demand. Get the WORD Out! Ask for Help and Support of Each Demand. Remember, This Is Not About Party- It Is About Uniting Americans Around Good Things. Be Polite to those that disagree with you- This Is All About Winning.
Fight for #18. Get Taxpayers to stop Subsidizing CEOs. FICA Tax All CEO Compensation.

Really? And yet you resent the hungry people right in front of you?

me? you are saying that "I" resent who? exactly how do you know me for one. And two, there are homeless being fed everywhere down there. Perhaps your article is true. Maybe not. Its the first I have heard of it.
There are a lot of occupations going on everywhere. That article claims one encampment is doing this. hm. If they are, I bet it doesn't last. Those homeless are 99th of the 99% and will be sheltered.
I share with the homeless whenever I can, so when you say "you", please be careful to know who YOU are talking about.
What a brilliant strategy, OWS! I applaud you. Humor is an incredibly powerful thing...
