2. I would like to see them in every major city... |
|
Every city with over 250,000 should do nicely. Michigan would be a great state to see this movement take off, they have suffered for decades under Republican rule with very little let up. They need jobs and politicians (rwers) just keep telling the masses they are lazy and undeserving of help.

3. As Bernie Sanders said, targeting Wall Street is correct. |

They control our political and economic system at present.

4. I'm going to, in general, support anything that |

makes the connection between economics, politics, and power. And their list of grievances is correct. And wide ranging and widespread, I might add. Their "action" plans, however, consits of nothing, but platitudes

5. That is a fair critique. |
|
If I was writing the plan, I'd start with
1)Seizure of the assets of the banks receiving bailout money under "assets forfeiture", given that several of these banks and their owners have been committed of crimes;
2)Return of foreclosed homes to their foreclosed owners after the homes had been seized;
3)Establishment of a system of democratic control and oversight of the U.S. financial system.
If the Supremes ruled any of this unconstitutional, I'd then use the popular anger those decisions would cause to fuel the people's movement that is already growing.

the GOP has the Tea Party fringe movement, everyone asked where the liberal fringe is. They are occupying Wall Street right now, so get used to having them around.

Okay, while I picked #6 (because it literally made me laugh out loud...good one!), I actually quite strongly support this movement and am looking forward to participating when Portland's begins on the 6th.
