My own list of demands:
1- Quit demanding that OWS issue a list of demands and quit disparaging the OWS movement because it doesn't fit your agenda or your requirements for a protest.

2 - See number 1

Addendum: Meh!

1. The M$M wants a short list of declarations or demands so they can tear it to shreds
OWS is doing it right, the Corporate-owned Main Stream Media and their multimillionaire bosses can't tear down the truth... but they continue to try!

My favorite example are the numerous "news" stories about OWS, which got about 30 seconds, followed by the most important story in all of our lives: the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor, which got 7 minutes of coverage. What???

:wtf:

3. Not issuing a list of demands has its advantages
If Wall Street ever becomes conciliatory and reponds favorably to #OWS, the level at which any changes could happen could be unlimited.

The ultimate goal should be a fundamental change in American finance.

However, some kind of clearly defined organizational model will needed to be crafted in the long run.

5. Why not state the obvious?
When our economy worked the best, the rich paid much higher taxes. What has changed? The rich pay much less tax. Fix it!
