A joke I heard long ago about the human body organs arguing about who was the boss went like this. The heart, lungs, kidneys, brain.... were all claiming to be the boss of the body, but when the asshole refused to crap they all had to admit that the asshole was the boss.
A consumer strike will hurt the 1% the most, right in the wallet! Stop buying anything you don’t need. Stop being a consumer.
Inflation is our enemy and the 1%'s friend. The 1% borrows money and with inflation and pays it back at ½ price, we make up the other 50% with high prices, taxes and loss of jobs. With deflation the 1% pays the money back at full price. That is why the Federal Government promotes inflation and wars. It is good for business and America's business is business since the end of WW2.
In the summer of 2008 the price of gas went over $4.00 a gallon, Americans stopped spending and deflation occurred. The government, banks and corporations started howling because it hurt them so bad. On October 8th 2008 the stock market took the 2nd biggest dump ever after the Dow Jones doped 733 points in response to a report that retail sales have reached a 3-year low. Third place was on September 11, 2001. Guess what is most important with the 1%. After 9/11/01 White Bush said go out and buy something and that will help America the most.
In 2008 Americans stooped spending because they were afraid they were out of money. Imagine the message the 1% would get from an organized consumer strike. It will cost you nothing and will hurt them so bad. The more you go with out the more they will hurt.
The protesters are great (Until this Occupy Wall Street protest started I though I was the only one.) but that is 1968 technology and you can get shot, so keep it compliant. Remember Kent State University in the 1970? That was National Guard, watch out for them! Regular Army, Navy, Marines will not fire on U.S. Citizens, EVER. I don’t know about Air force.
Any of you assholes got a plan once the 1% agree we are the boss?
What do you think is Occupy Wall Street just a page of sudo hippies that are complain that Wall Street daddy wont pay there cell phone bill any more? Or do you want to do something.
It makes me crazy also, way hasn’t US bank gone under over the $5.00 debit card fee yet. All banks will do it now. You get what you vote for $$$$.
Explain your self please. Mr. This is your brain on Capitalism
My father made lots of money off the Vietnam war while protesting it.
All the 1% talk is insane. The problem isn't even the so-called 1%, its even smaller. It is the people in Congress. Congress has too much power, and our checks and balances are not enough to keep Congress in line.
I've seen a lot of crazy talk on this site pal, but what you have written is the most logical.
I mean think about it. All these people are complaining about "Corporate Greed"; yet, the are purchasing products from the same companies they are whining about. WHAT KIND OF SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?
That's like someone coming to my lemonade stand and complaining because I pee in my lemonade; yet, the whole time they are protesting my lemonade stand, they are continuing to purchase my lemonade!!
Do you people realize how insane that is?
