La question est pertinente si on considère qu'aucune demande précise n'a été formulée jusqu'à maintenant. Comment atteindre un objectif aussi général que celui qui rassemble de plus en plus d'américains un peu partout aux États-Unis? La stratège politique Sally Kohn propose un scénario "victorieux".
"Like any good story, the 99% movement is bound to have a cliffhanger, though it's too soon to predict when or what it will be. But expect it to come in the form of a significant demand that, if achieved, would dramatically transform our politics and economy for the better.
Based on my conversations with participants at Occupy Wall Street, my sense is that the ultimate demand could be a radical reform to get money out of politics. This might be a call for public financing of elections, new restrictions on lobbying contributions. There might even be a constitutional amendment saying the law should not treat corporations as people, effectively overturning the Supreme Court's Citizens' United ruling that allowing corporations and wealthy donors to spend more freely on campaigns.
Incidentally, the American people widely support such campaign finance restrictions, but both Democrats and Republicans are chronically unwilling to forsake cash cow corporations and embrace reform. Creating huge public pressure to get corrupting money out of politics would be quite a happy ending for the protesters -- and our democracy.
But even if ordinary Americans merely become more awake to the injustices of gaping inequality, if they now begin to fight back, then it won't matter where the story ends. In the face of economic travail -- with 16 million American children living in poverty and with unemployment for African-Americans at more than double the already-alarming rate for white people -- the 99% are finally standing up together and taking action. This foreshadows a much brighter future all of us."
