Occupying the right order of things

Occupy Wall Street Protests need a better compass
Occupying the road to nowhere
Free trade is the main issue. It is the major cause of our economic and money crisis.
If we keep leaving the issue of free trade out of the picture, we will get nowhere. Both parties have endorsed it. It devalues and degrades the value of workers and labor. This value represents a massive lost of money. Trillions of dollars are missing in any equation behind most issues of our times.
Also all of our tax codes are obsolete because of these massive losses with the value of labor and workers being a better money standard than the contrived paper value transactions. The payroll tax is obsolete. It acts as a tariff on work in a global economy. Competitors don't have to deal with it. We shop our way out of our jobs if we ignore ih. The tax is used like any other tax in the general fund. It is not something by itself. It is actually a flat tax on the working poor with about 70 percent of all workers paying more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes. We need to find a way to fund the same program in a different way. We suggest Taps instead of Taxes on all transactions with needed exceptions decided by a vote. The Taps on all imports should be twice the amount of a Tap on products made in the USA. See Real Tax Reform
As far as unemployment insurance is concerned, it is no longer real thing since only about 38 percent of all American workers qualify for it. In extending any further payments, only a fraction of workers will get it and it comes out of everyones pocket including a single mother who is making only a $100 a month and who is considered employed. More than 60 percent of all workers are in some sort of limbo missing in action from any kind of real reporting or support. Some workers have three part time jobs at the same time. I wonder how many of these jobs are reported as three workers instead of just one.
See Communications by Rank Workers have no voice in the process of free trade and globalization. Co-opting the lesser of two evils is not only wrong but it leads us down another detour. Occupy Wall Street must find the straight road according to set priorities

Free trade is the main issue. It is the major cause of our economic and money crisis.
Even while the Occupy Wall Street protests were at its peak, Pres. Obama passed 3 free trade bills with the protesters ignoring the event
