That is pretty retarded. Wasn't the collapse a result of people not being able to pay their mortgages?Jay wrote:

Apple should run it as:

That or just sell the govt to Goldman Sachs - they pretty well own it already - drop the pretence.
Madoff could be President.

Really, another big financial scandal should do it, people stop paying their taxes, goodnight.
9% Unemployment and the govt is broke since 70% of tax comes from jobs.
Another 9% stop paying tax and the govt falls.

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Oh OK

Fuck Israel
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
le contradictions LOL

This is why people should learn something about fucking economics before they open their mouth on how the world should run.

Yes this list is stupid and unrealistic. But this list is one person's proposal for a possible list of demands. It is posted on this protest's website. After 140+ comments NOT ONE has been in full support of it. It has as much relevence as a self-appointed political commentator's Youtube video.
From what I understand this protest is in regard to increasing income disparity and waning social mobility in the US. To a certain extent it is the cry of a bunch of over-privelaged children with a false sense of entitlement. It also seems poorly structured and has no real direction. But I think there is some discussion value in the points that they are presumably trying to make. Income disparity in the US is at a ridiculous level and is getting worse while people earning obscene amounts of money are not being taxed to a level that seems remotely fair. Social mobility, the backbone of the national ethos, is declining - I believe the US rates tenth in the world for this which is pretty poor for a country that prides itself on "The American Dream". America increasingly seems to be a nation for the rich with the laws and even the culture of the country catering more and more to wealthy people who really dont need the help. I think these people are just generally frustrated with all of this but don't quite know exactly what they're mad at or why.

They are like the former law students that sued New York Law because their law degrees didn't come with high paying jobs attached to them. They want the wealth without doing the work necessary to earn it. Fuck em.Ty wrote:

http://m.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhat … kG6lL8jNbNNow the students have become the litigators. Graduates of New York Law School filed a class action lawsuit against their alma mater, claiming they were duped into enrolling with false promises of practically guaranteed high-paying legal jobs. In papers filed today in Manhattan Supreme Court, Alexandra Gomez-Jimenez, Scott Tiedke and Katherine Cooper say they were victims of a "systemic, ongoing fraud that is ubiquitous in the legal education industry and threatens to leave a generation of law students in dire financial straits." The suit says the school duped students by claiming that "the overwhelming majority of its students —90-95 percent —secure employment within nine months of graduation." The "reality of the situation," the suit says, is "that these seemingly robust numbers include any type of employment, including jobs that have absoloutely nothing to do with the legal industry, do not requre a JD degree or are temporary or part-time in nature." "Rather, if NYLS was to disclose the more pertinent employment statistic" of graduates who landed full-time law-related jobs, "the numbers would drop dramatically, and could be well below 50 percent, if not lower." Lawyer David Anziska, who’s representing the now-employed grads, said the school has also inflated reports about the salaries its graduates pull in by using an average "based on a small, mostly self-selected subset of graduates who actually submit their salary information." That means the bulk of graduates have a hard time digging out from their students loans to attend the almost $50,000 a year school, Anziska said. The suit says most graduates leave owing over $100,000 from the loans. The suit seeks a court order changing the way the school reports the employment and salary numbers, as well as unspecified money damages. The school’s dean, Richard Matasar, said, "These claims are without merit and we will vigorously defend against them in court."
