Forum Post: Shut down FB before the IPO!

It is either hypocritical or naive of this movement to be using social media as a form to unite rather than a huge opportunity to take this movement to the next step. In time of cyber space and a global economy, I see the movement trying to storm the streets and cause brick and mortar chaos, rather than taking advantage of biggest opportunity and statement that can be made by each individual right at their home.

We are at the eve of one of the most monumental and historic Initial public offerings ever in Facebook. Ask you self, who stands to make a killing on this? The 1% again! Open your eyes. The 99% are signed into this company as users voluntarily and major corporations, Wall Street, banks and their preferred customers of the banks will cash in again. Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Chase & Goldman Sachs are only a few of the many that are salivating over this deal.

The IPO will be offered and only the preferred customers and corporations of these banks and brokerage houses handling the transaction will get in on the extreme deal and initial pricing before it is available to Main Street. The 1% all line their pockets first and send it out to the 99% second. This procedure is standard and isn’t that what you are fighting for? This time it’s with a media site that the 99% can simply cancel their subscription to face book and rattle the financial world and major corporations instantly. Trust me, check out CNBC when Face book users start to pull out like wildfire. It’s quite ironic that the site that can help unite the cause can be the biggest shot to date for the cause if used properly in this hour of greed. THE CYBER TEA PARTY!

Paragraph one has the cross hairs right on the bull's-eye.

Would you stop it with the 1%. There is another 98% that has had enough of this movement and that you forget about and then there is your 1% that comes up with stuff like this. Nobody cares if you delete your facebook page, by all means do so...go smoke some more weed and come up with the next brillant idea.

Do you realize if there wasn't a 1% most of the charities in this country would go bust overnight? This 1% builds wings of cancer centers, funds research for fighting blindness, builds libraries, donates millions to colleges come on stop it with the frigging one percent thing.

If 1% of the people didn't own 40% of the wealth, there wouldn't be so great a need for charities.

So please feel free to move to China or Cuba and share the wealth with your friends there. Why do you think you are entitled to what others have worked for?
