What does OWS want? Try this
Edited on Thu Oct-20-11 03:31 PM by Cyrano
OWS wants the 1% to stop screwing the other 99% of us in every way possible.

Stop screwing us with medical/prescription/insurance costs.

Stop screwing us with “fees” on air, water and everything else we need to live.

Stop screwing us by taking away our homes and everything else we once owned.

Stop screwing us by destroying every freedom we once had.

Stop screwing our young people by sending them to die or get maimed in wars for profit.

Stop screwing us in the name of some crazed God that you claim to believe in.

Stop screwing us with your insatiable greed.

Stop screwing us by pretending that you don’t know what we want.

Stop screwing our children.

Stop screwing our elderly.

Stop screwing with our elections.

Stop screwing up the only planet available to us.


Please feel free to add anything and everything else that OWS wants.

3. Um, do you not see the problem here?
You're telling us what you want them to say, not what they are saying.

5. OWS wants a government of the people, by the people, and for the people
Without that, nothing is possible.

With that, everything is possible.

The catch is that it's circular. You have to get the corporations out of politics to have a government of the people -- but it will take a government of the people to get the corporations out of politics.

But though circular, it's not impossible. You just have to find the pressure point. That is the problem OWS is working to solve.
