We are the 99% that consume and they are the 1% that profit. Let’s choose not to consume this holiday season. If we can camp out in the park for over thirty days and launch similar protest across the nation than we can collectively choose not to shop this holiday season. Instead we can spend time with our family and let them know why we are not choosing to celebrate the holidays with presents this year. The fourth quarter usually makes up most of the profits in most corporations for the year. If you want your voice to be heard focus on the area where is it’s the loudest. It’s time we took back our rights as consumers, workers, and people.

Large corporations manufacture their products overseas. Why not just buy Purely American Made products? Create American jobs as you celebrate the holidays! A small company that offers Only American Made products would be a good place to buy things. I know that you can find Earth friendly, recycled American Made products at www.AmericanProductionGroup.com I buy my pet products from them but they have other stuff too. Its all American Made right down to the packaging. (And its a small business, not a corporation)

Your on to something here. Some sort of organized world protest would put a halt to the game.

Vote with your wallet. Research the companies that produce what you buy. We're building a brand new accountable world here. Corporations will do whatever we want if we vote with our dollars.

Trouble is, the people who deliver the stuff the corporations make, and work in stores selling it, lose too. FIRST we need to take the political power away from the corporations....THEN we can make some sane changes to our society. Again, no change will come with out taking away this dynamic: Money=influence=power=money=influence=power=money......get it? This needs to change FIRST. Or we don't achieve anything.....

Keep laughing. Revolutions throughout history have used the tools of oppression to bring down oppressors. It's called alchemy. Pay a little closer attention of you want to be more than a troll for the rest of your life.
