    A bunch of nonsensical sophomoric crap isn't it? People have already argued here the list itself doesn't indicate the intentions of the entire movement. If it did the movement wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting much in the way of beneficial outcomes.

    A minimum wage of $20.00 an hour, unemployment equal to the minimum wage and an open border policy...gee I wonder how that would play out? What would keep people from crossing the border who now risk their lives for $7.00 an hour?

    As usual, no link to support what you say, and no list of your ideas for members to review. Useless.

    Had you read the thread you would see the issue has already been discussed.

    No link is needed to argue raising the minimum wage to $20.00 would increase the desire for people to migrate into the U.S.

    Are you a fan of illegal immigrants crossing over the southern border all of a sudden, or are you saving that debate for another trolling?

    You are the one talking about a $20 minimum wage. I have never posted on that until this minute.

    If you read anything I have posted on immigration, my overall message is deport all 12,000,000 illegal aliens, they are absorbing $113 BILLION a year in taxpayer resources for education, health care, and welfare. http://www.fairus.org/site/News2?pag...s_iv_ctrl=1017 I am all for implementing the program known as 'Operation Wetback.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback Read English much?


    I am not a troll, or a moron either.

    I would suggest you read what you posted here:

    This was one guy's list of demands. Many lists are being made, there is no official list beyond - throw the bastards in jail who caused the 2008 financial crisis.

    I stated that I personally find about a third of these demands too far left or naive.

    ....
    You might have noticed that I had already posted this list earlier in the thread and that I had the "unofficial" tag on it before the host site did. You might have noticed that but you didn't and the only reason I can think of that you didn't is because you pretty much ignored the prior 40+ pages of this thread for the sole purpose of getting a dig in on someone.

    Here is a link to the where that demand list was previously posted (Post #174 - a week ago

    Now, please address the topic at hand just as everyone else has been.

    Here's the link to a radio interview with Lloyd Hart--(master occupier)--and the person who wrote the 13 issue demand list.

    ENJOY! You'll find that the post you are questioning is 100% right on.

    The OWS group wasn't around 3-1/2 years ago when the Tea Party movement was protesting all of the bail-out's. Now all of a sudden they're enraged over them when TARP one funds (banking) as been paid back to the treasury with interest.

    Actually they got another trillion dollar bailout ... and paid that back also.

    What is a master occupier? Does he chose issues for the group or is he a participant of the group?
