Answer: Because communists, anarchists, and marxists inevitably gravitate to each other - natch. If Wisconsin taught us anything it is that unions are in favor of generalized thuggery and rabble-rousing against the public.

There is no better illustration of just how ignorant and dumb the protesters are than this laundry list of glittering stupidity. They couldn't demonstrate any more clearly just how radical and out of touch with reality they are if they tried. Now, doubtless many of you here in the Sift will give a rousing huzzah to their list. I rest my case.

And relevant to this vid they want to unionize all workers. Ding ding ding.

So "hating" on the protestors aside, I'm curious of your beliefs: Are you totally ok with how the very rich are becoming increasingly richer? Do you support it as positive for the US economy? >> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:

Re: demand #11 @Winstonfield_Pennypacker's link.

In North America, and indeed most "developed" nations in the world, money is "printed" into existence by the signing of loans by private banks. These loans can be mortgages* student loans, car loans or anything else. This is an underlying problem with the centralization of wealth in the western world.

*The literal translation of the (french) word mortgage is "death pledge" as it became known that due to the nature of compound interest you would spend your whole life attempting to pay it off. Hypothèque is the word used by the french, as death pledge is not so appealing.
