http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/ Job boom plan for America

For the protest to guarantee winning the next election the plan needs to force the multinationals to buy all their supplies only made by American workers. Prevent any imports from China and known slave states from being unloaded. The 13th amendment abolished slavery. Having slave made goods in America is unconstitutional. The 13th amendment doesn't say move the slaves from Alabama to China.

Unions should have their own pay scale. Any workers who don't want to join the union will need to negotiate their own pension, their own wages, their own health care. Workers who refuse to pay dues need to be penalized, not rewarded. Let the scabs get screwed and they might get the message.

End all tax deductions or tax credits and use a sales tax to collect taxes so even criminals will pay their taxes. Eliminate the entire IRS which would save $400 billion annually. The FAIR TAX does this. The Congress hates the FAIR TAX because it eliminates their tax loophole kickbacks for bribes. That's why they misinform the public when they call the FAIR TAX regressive.

To refuse to vote for that platform would be stupid and insane.The privileged keep ripping off all the rest of us and the public is in their propaganda trance allowing that to happen. Any person against this plan is sabotaging the OWS protest and needs to be heard. Let's hear any reason to oppose this end globalization screw job.

I think we need a working group focused on this, and offering online and on site trainings to people who are planning on winter camping at OWS. It can be done, but we need the information and resources, as well as organization.

I think that would be a really good idea! You have about 2-3 weeks before nature turns wicked, and cold is a spirit crushing bitch.

Unfortunately, because I am one of the lucky protesters who do have a job and place to live, I can't make it down until the holidays. I'm hoping someone who's currently down there will take advantage of my idea and put it to good use. I'm willing to help with logistics from home, but I can't do the physical parts.
