>> I gave you a list of them. You choose to ignore them. Some of them were discussed on the video clip you posted to me.

Apparently, you are confused about the difference between "complaint" and "demand". We all have complaints, but we don't always know what to do to fix them.

In the case of OWS, we know what they're complaining about. But they really haven't articulated any DEMANDS, at least not any that are even remotely classifiable as "reasonable".

Okay, so they think money should be equally distributed throughout our society. How exactly would you do that? Having government confiscate it in taxes does not accomplish that objective. Even if you raised tax rates to 95% on the wealthy, it would be spent on providing benefits to the aged in the form of SS and Medicare benefits -- and these aren't the people involved in OWS.

So, what exactly are they wanting to see happen? This is a reasonable question to which there has been no answer given.
