OWS issues and goals?
-The militarization of local law enforcement.
-Privatization of municipal services ranging from law enforcement to water and prisons. The main goal here is to drive down wages of those who do the actual work.
-All services and goods that are critical to our lives should be overseen by people we elect and can remove from power. Private leadership requires mindless, blind faith to people who often are not inclined to do first what is best for society and humanity.
-Empowering transnational corporations which are often immune to local laws and, by threatening to move or modify their business, can coerce local governments into granting concessions such as tax breaks and eminent domain. Ultimately, transnational and interstate corporations should be abolished.
-Embargo all goods and services produced or provided by employees paid less than the U.S. minimum wage. Otherwise, we are indirectly supporting slavery and worker abuse.
-Excessive remuneration to persons such as executives, actors or athletes. Should we enact a maximum wage up to 10 times the remuneration of the lowest paid employee in the business or corporation? Currently, some executives are paid as if they do the work of nearly 500 people.
-The fitness to serve of those in government who approved or consented, including inaction, to the bailouts of banks, investment firms and insurance companies in 2008. They have surrendered the right to represent us. Nations, such as Iceland, nationalized those institutions with great success.
-War-making powers of those in government, it’s agencies, contractors or proxies. Our government has demonstrated repeatedly that it lacks the moral and intellectual sophistication to be trusted with those powers. Should all wars be put to a popular vote except to repel invaders already on our land?
-The more greed and gluttony there is, the more it demands to be fed. Studies in Prince George’s County, Md., show that the rich never reach a wealth satisfaction level.
-Our current economic crises indicate that high compensation is not attracting high competency. It is attracting high corruption. Should we enact maximum remuneration laws, so that those with morals and principles could be considered for those jobs?
