Agreed! BUT is there any possibility of such a "simple platform" being accepted by "99%"? Are the three mentioned in of themselves such issues that a majority would fight for? I don't think so.  Honestly, how many people understand the true implication of  corporate contributions to political campaigns and how they effect them personally though directly? (Side note: Wouldn't it be better to take away "A corp. is a person" thingy?). How many know that central banks are private (and so is the power to print money) and the implications of that? Again, let's talk percentages. Remember that at the same time they are being bombarded -- through media, school books, etc. -- with lies that that is not so (that "fed is a federal institution", it is "govt that prints money", "corporations provide jobs", "corporations are doing good", "the American dream is alive", etc.) I hope you understand what I am trying to get at (as I am doing a lousy job trying to explain it :))
