Forum Post: Consumer Strike

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.

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.

Any of you assholes got a plan once the 1% agree we are the boss?
