I believe that what we need is a simple catchphrase to describe the actions of the corporations we are protesting. Something that can be repeated by the media easily, and strike a chord with the rest of the world.
I propose: Domestic Economic Terrorism
The corporations are employing terrorism tactics to prevent being regulated or taxed. 'If you regulate us, we'll have to punish the public with higher fees." They make threats against the public to protect their own profits, then cry "economic meltdown" to get bailed out when they screw up.
End Domestic Economic Terrorism NOW!
Maybe you should pin those little fabric stars on "the guilty party"'s suit jackets so that they'll be easier to identify?
No need to Godwin this so soon. I'm talking about a media-friendly term they can latch on to, like "death panels" and "class warfare."
Sure, slogans are easy. There are already a lot of them written for you. Just replace "Die Juden", with "the wealthy."
For example: "Die Juden sind unser Unglück", becomes, "The wealthy are our misfortune."
Repeal Gramm-Leach-Bliley sums it up a little bit better to me.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley are words with no power, as they are names with no meaning
Terrorism says what. Domestic defines where. Economic explains how.
I'd debate you on this, but I'll let the general assembly handle this one. I've made this argument on enough of these threads already.
agreed. we need a new war of terror!
shock and awe!
