#1 They claim it's not an offical list - but it *is* still on their website.

#2 Demand thirteen: Weed. And, like, good weed, man, nunathat weak stuff they give to old people on chemotherapy to test. And, like, we want the guvmint to pay for it because, like, they should. And deliver it to us. No matter where we are. Over the internet. Everyday. For the rest of our lives.

#3 Demand thirteen: Rainbow powered flying cars. That can drive themselves. And the governmint should pay for them. And you should get a new one every two weeks. And you get to pick the color. And they should have a tracking thing on them so the governmint knows where you are. So if you're not home they can deliver you your daily supply of governmint weed.

#4 Demand thirteen: People should be paid, like, a million dollars an hour. By the governmint. Even if they don't want to work. Only people who deliver governmint weed or fix rainbow powered flying cars should get paid more. Like, two million dollars an hour.

#5 Nice job on the unibrow trim. Now lose the haji rag scarf, pull up your trousers, and get a haircut you loser. At the misfortune of a polite society, looks to me like you've got at least another 45 years to pay that loan back. On second thought, you really don't look to me like the "loan payback" type... SO SCRAM!

#7 Posted and of.

PIMF.

Of particular note on this list is the banishment of credit reporting agencies.

How is any business to compel, ultimately, any of their clients to pay if there are no consequences in terms of future credit and borrowing and purchasing?

#8 What news I hear on the radio seems to be favorable to these loons - like a lefty equivalent to the grass-roots tea party movement. Maybe they have yet to read the socialist demands.

Where are these dopes going to find jobs? What could they do that's productive, I wonder?

#9 Actually if 11 is to be done, I want to borrow a lot of money NOW.

Then what good are the credit agencies in 12?

#10 I didn't see the unicorn and rainbows in the list of demands, they left them out.

#11 Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

How about a standard of providing ID?
Let's see we have 1,500 paper ballots here and 1,000 eligible voters in this district. Heh.

#12 So

1/ State trade monopoly.
2/ State healthcare monopoly.
3/ State wage monopoly.
4/ State education monopoly.
5/ State energy monopoly.
6/ State transport monopoly.
7/ State Land monopoly.
8/ End freedom of association.
9/ Subsidize Non-citizens!
10/ Let us rig the ballots.
11/ Destroy ALL investment (the other side of debt).
12/ Ensure no lending happens.
13/ Increase union ability to extort.

These measure if enacted would kill millions of Americans through healthcare failure, destroy millions more jobs, lower every workers wages, make retirement impossible, make saving futile, make goods vastly more expensive, make Americans waste even more time being taught for no benefit and ensure that strikes cripple what little commerce does take place.

Ladies and Gentlemen I present The American Region of Socialist Entities.

#13 Huh, they had my attention at first. Voicing concerns about very real problems in our society is one thing, this is kinda weird though.

I still find it weird that a couple hundred hippies can give our political and financial elite such a bellyache. They usually dismiss any mutterings of discontent from the plebes.

#14 Not much like the Tea Party as some donks are trying to suggest.

#16 So you're not going to protest the technicratic "elite"??? Oh why? You want to be them... ah ok.

#17 "$25,000 in student loan debt and all I got was this degree in dialectical materialism and a keffiyeh."

It's not weird if you realize that this is part of the 2012 Obama / Dems campaign operation.
