Occupy Wall Street: Friday, October 14th 2011

WALL STREET, OCCUPIED TONIGHT:

ECONOMIC POLICY DEMANDS:

Quick version: Go ahead and call a second consitutional convention, cuz this thing’s fucked to shit.

1. End corporate personhood, corporate rights and all corporate money in elections. Return all political power to living human beings.

2. Break up the big banks: Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs. Regulate remaining financial institutions as public utilities.

3. Arrest and try the big bankers for treason and fraud under a South-African-style Truth Commission. Seize their private assets for restitution.

4. Abolish the private Federal Reserve system and return monetary policy to Congress and the Treasury.

5. Repeal root causes of financial disaster: NAFTA and other -AFTA trade deal clones, WTO, bankruptcy reform, Gramm-Leach, Bush & Obama bank bailouts, corporate tax loopholes, etc.

6. Repay real and full amounts of bailouts & onerous bonuses since 2007 ($10 trillion+, not their dummy statistics), plus heavy punitive fines.

7. Cap corporate income at a maximum multiple of employee income.

8. Peg dollar value to a basket of median wages, food & energy prices, precious metals and foreign currencies.

9. End all current U.S. wars and wind down the empire in an orderly, dignified fashion. Use confiscated Wall Street loot for restitution funds.

10. Establish “jubilee year” debt holiday at regular lifetime intervals. Write off all current bad debts. Let the rich eat the losses.

… And have fun doing it!
