Fully eight of them are no more and no less than "STOP BEING STUPID". They're not leftist, radical, insane, unusual, they're just sensible implementations of our own principles and knowledge.
1. Eradicate the Bush tax cuts for the rich and institute new taxes on the wealthiest Americans and on corporations, including a tax on all trading on Wall Street (where they currently pay 0%).
Don't be stupid.
Exempting the people with money from paying taxes, ESPECIALLY when you have an atypically wide disparity, is just dumb. It serves no ideology but the short-term greed of a few. Economic activity is taxed to support the costs of regulating it. Currently Wall Street is immune, and we are paying for it.
2. Assess a penalty tax on any corporation that moves American jobs to other countries when that company is already making profits in America. Our jobs are the most important national treasure and they cannot be removed from the country simply because someone wants to make more money.
Don't be stupid.
Not only the jobs, but much of what they produce, is necessary to America. It's pretty obvious that we need semiconductor fab plants that we can trust, for example. This is simply a strategic necessity.
3. Require that all Americans pay the same Social Security tax on all of their earnings (normally, the middle class pays about 6% of their income to Social Security; someone making $1 million a year pays about 0.6% (or 90% less than the average person). This law would simply make the rich pay what everyone else pays.
I think this is debatable. There are differing reasonable opinions about how Social Security should work. Stealing from it shouldn't be an option, though.
4. Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act, placing serious regulations on how business is conducted by Wall Street and the banks.
Don't be stupid.
5. Investigate the Crash of 2008, and bring to justice those who committed any crimes.
Don't be stupid.
6. Reorder our nation's spending priorities (including the ending of all foreign wars and their cost of over $2 billion a week). This will re-open libraries, reinstate band and art and civics classes in our schools, fix our roads and bridges and infrastructure, wire the entire country for 21st century internet, and support scientific research that improves our lives.
Don't be stupid, especially all by yourself.
We can adjust our spending to match the rest of the first world, and give up our gigantically bloated military. Civilian jobs are cheaper, benefit the country more, and don't damage people as badly as the military does.
7. Join the rest of the free world and create a single-payer, free and universal health care system that covers all Americans all of the time.
Don't be stupid, especially all by yourself.
8. Immediately reduce carbon emissions that are destroying the planet and discover ways to live without the oil that will be depleted and gone by the end of this century.
Don't be stupid, even when others are.
9. Require corporations with more than 10,000 employees to restructure their board of directors so that 50% of its members are elected by the company’s workers.
Don't be stupid.
Corporations have no right to compete with nations as governors of the world's resources and trade. Due to their legal structure, they are simply incapable of doing the job, as they are disallowed from considering values that a democratic majority would rate as primary.
Michael Moore is a good writer. But, rather than these ten, and the connection to him, I'd prefer that OWS had a list of 10,000 of them, all this well-written and well thought out, that people could just pick ten from every time someone is asked what OWS stands for.
