One of their demands (I saw at least at one protest) was a $20/hour minimum wage...
$20/hour * 8 hours/day * 5 days/wk * 50 wks/yr = $40,000/yr, which is pretty close to "$50K/yr"
That's one demand at one protest that you claim you heard (Have a link to a document or official list of demands? Which protest was this at? Where did you see this?), and that is for the minimum wage, not a maximum wage. One person saying something does not speak for the entire movement, and I challenge you to locate this demand. It's an absurd demand and would be voted down in any general assembly.
No I actually read it on one of the loons signs. If you can't grasp the content of my post then put down the booze.
I don't drink alcohol. One sign does not equal the demands of the movement at large (have a link to the photo?) and none of the agreed upon lists of demands say anything about no one working and everyone receiving the 50k a year. It's an absurd notion, and you're full of it, basically. This is not a movement about making sure that everyone receives the same amount of money for not doing work.

There will always be a 1%, it's just that, hopefully, they will only own 20% of the Country, instead of 40%.
I'm fine with the 1% being really rich--that's the American dream. I just don't want them using their money through lobbying and campaign contributions to control the government so that all the legislation passed is in their favor. I personally pay more taxes than some of them--I think I should have a voice too.

Oh I'm full of it eh? I guess you told me huh. So are you a communist like your buddies or just a supporter. Better join up or off to the gulags you will go.
Also keep in mind that this is a meaningless aside, since $20 minimum wage is still for WORK, and it's not a MAXIMUM WAGE as the original poster keeps claiming. The original poster claims that OWS wants EVERYONE to receive $50k for not working. Where has that been claimed?

I'm not a communist, and neither are most of the people participating in Occupy Wall Street. You made up a blatant lie, are unable to defend it, and are now resorting to goofy attacks.
