In 3 easy steps WE can beat them at their own game. Street protests are awesome and our voice is heard but to them it's like they are dogs. They hear blah, blah, blah. Other than protesting the best way to get at these bastards is to SHOCK THE MARKETS......This is the only time they will take US seriously........
Pull every single dime you have in a bank that is publicly traded on the exchanges.
Do not shop on "Black Friday", this will be a true barometer as to how serious this movement is. If you can or must shop for the holidays buy from NON-publicly traded companies.
Do not use any form of credit. No Credit Cards especially. Interest rates are figured exponentially (simple interest, compound interest, and continuously compounding interest) and this, along with the speed of technology, is the reason their wealth is an exponential function on a chart (their wealth) compared to the linear function of our wages. That's messed up.
Results:
A 20% - 30% run on the banks, along with slow sales, and the lack of cash inflow from credit WILL SHOCK THE MARKETS.......This will open their eyes when they see the markets tumble by 500 points in a day, and continue to decline. It's all about maximizing our voices and this is an extremely powerful way to do it.

Not a bad idea at all! We need to shock them so they know it's time to make correction before the market drops dead. The key is we want them to correct the behavior.
Great idea. Get on the main lines. Set a specific date that gives time for the word to spread so many people take part. I am thrilled and greatly encouraged to see thoughtful people joining this revolution. Spread the word. GET PEOPLE REGISTERED TO VOTE>
How would I go about getting it on the "main lines"? Let's make these bastards crash and burn......
I think if you shorten it to bullet points, set a date and begin posting it on lots of sites it might gain momentum. Go especially to those publications that are writing in sympathy, such as Nation. One can never be sure. Blog it to publications, to facebook, you email contacts, twitter it. I think it is worth a big effort.
Agreed. Voting, Boycott and strikes are 3 potent methods. All legitimate, peacefull, and legal.
The rich always benefit from market crashes more than the average person. They are more informed and quicker with their money.
Actually, there are some who are proposing a general strike in late Nov

Yeah. That's the answer. a general strike. This isn't Greece. Americansin general are ok.
Won't happen. My friends, family and neighbors are all shopping on Black Friday. It's what Amricans do. If you have money. And we all have money.
Awesome idea. The only problem is that if the market crashes completely, there won't be anyone buying us winter gloves anymore, and giving us free food.
