The agent provocateurs weigh in. haha

next time I will. Why?

Reasons to waive the American flag, in full right side up.

  1. There are many service members, who proudly serving our nation involved.

  2. Our entire economic influence as individuals begins and starts withing the jurisdiction of the US of A. Not so with GE, AIG, prudential, etc...

  3. Unlike GE, and goldman sacks, we pay our income tax. We OWN that flag. We DID pay for it.
  4. When everything goes to shit and falls apart, we'll still be here, as Americans. The %1 who haven't moved all their money off-shore already, will, and then quietly leave the country.
  5. We want the people to understand who's American and who's not when it comes hiring time. We are the people who want jobs back in this country. Mabey waving the country where we want the jobs to go's flag might remind people.
  6. GE's CEO is mad that no one loves his company out of patriotism. I wondered if he sees the irony in his company paying no taxes to our government, registering his company in the Bahamas and outsourcing jobs to anywhere with slave labor has anything to do with it. Wave the American flag to remind him.
  7. American brands doesn't mean shit anymore because they don't make anything in this country anyway. That needs to change.

Or mabey we should fly the American flag upside down in its original message, a distress signal. For this once great nation is now in serious distress.

Why? The flag just represents the system that is holding us down!
