Economic solidarity is essential in the 99%. Big retail political money goes towards the people who influence them the most; big retail has no loyalty. If we want big retail to support the candidates we back, then we need to show them that we are together. Stop Black Friday.
right on
Screw with the economy even more than it's already is-self-sabotage sounds like a plan to me.
"Screw with the economy"...is that a scientific term?
You obviously have done very little research on how economies work or about the actual point of Stop Black Friday.
A one day protest will have very little effect on the actual economy. It will, however, have great political affects which will allow OWS more power over the upcoming elections.
LOL...guess he couldn't handle it either...how come the opposition to OWS never wants to stick around to argue nuance and fact, but only post blanket assertions? "Screw with the economy." Umm, ok. Nice argument, bozo! Winner, OWS!!
Do you want to get rid of cunning people !? Vote petition on the Internet : http://wh.gov/jkl
This preoccupation with Black Friday is inane. The whole thing is just a big marketing ploy anyway.You can get the same deals online any time.
Walmart and Best Buy et al aren't the institutions bribing our pols anyway. It's a strange target.
I see Black Friday as a self punishing event anyway; anyone who rushes out to go shopping at midnight on Thanksgiving to save money on things they don't need and wouldn't buy if it weren't supposedly on sale is an idiot.
So many things are artificially marked up so high anyway that Black Friday deals are still overpriced. However, in my experience, I've never seen anything alluringly low priced for Black Friday. It's all BS.
Oh, they're not? Wal Mart alone gave $1.4 mil in the 2010 cycle. Gotta get those facts straight, Stag!
The eyes of the world will be on the retail sector on Black Friday. This is the time to show the 1% that it can't survive without money from the 99%!! There will be no other day to show that!
Guess he didn't like the facts
