Some Practical Demands for the Occupy Movement

Writer and researcher Matt Taibbi has been expertly tracking the crimes and misdemeanors of the Wall Street plutocrats for several years. He's got some excellent advice about the demands the Occupy Wall Street movement should make on them. In brief:

1. Break up the monopolies.

2. Pay for your own bailouts.

3. No public money for private lobbying.

4. Tax hedge-fund gamblers.

5. Change the way bankers get paid.
