Forget the list of demands. What we need is a top 5 shitlist. Its a very clear, very direct message. We need a very detailed list of the top 5 douchebags in Corporate America, as well as any corporation who is associated with them. Then we simply stop doing business with all of them. Our power, as the masses in this culture, is certainly not in physical strength. It is obviously not mental capacity for new and interesting ideas. The only thing the masses in this culture have to fight with, is consumerism.
You are correct. The only thing they understand is money (ours). Our only weapons are consumerism (or, more appropriately, anti-consumerism) and, so I've been told, our votes.
Don't stop at 5.
I agree with your point about voting with our [retracted] dollars and that the ol' "bottom line" is what's important to those folks. As to a detailed list of douchebags, the thing is it isn't any specific douchebag in particular. It's specific economic legislation that allows the douchebags to run amok in their douchebaggery. Smoke out the current crop of douchebags now and if nothing else changes you'll have a new and hardier crop of them next week.
you are all just spoiled...no one complained about the financial system when things were good, and things have been worse...its just that we have never had a president that encouraged class warfare
