We have power as a "whole". Those huge salaries/bonuses come from profits that should go to shareholders-- meaning, us. Look at stocks/mutual funds in your 401K's or whatever you have. You probably are getting near nothing for dividends if you get anything. This is because those at the top are taking it all!! I implore you to go to Yahoo Finance, type in a stock/mutual fund symbol, go to Historical prices- Dividends, and you'll find out. They think we are powerless, but we can pull our money out of greedy corporate hands! But we all have to do it!!!
Although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategic Legal Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

I would love to see everyone stop investing for one quarter. I guarantee they will notice.
And that's the beauty of our American Capitalist system.
If you don't like how a company operates, you can FREELY choose to take your business and hard earned money elsewhere.
Again, there's no need for hatred and class warfare.
So you will storm the buildings and steal, yea Id love to see that covered by the conveiniently placed pictures and edited videos. Then you can raise hell and demonize the cops for doing their job to keep people safe. Dispicable, please go to another country where this behavior is normal. Thank you.
Um, kimid is talking about withdrawing the money from your personal investment accounts, not stealing.
Actually, my portfolio has done pretty well in the last two years. I'd like to know why the companies I invested in aren't using that money to hire.
Thank you for clearing that up for Gileos. I'm glad your investments are paying dividends---some are on the up and up. They are in the minority, though. These people live/breath greed, and pulling money out is probably the only way to get their attention. I'm suggesting everyone stop putting money in for one quarter. They will notice!
Well, I'm leaving my investments, small as they are, but I aint putting a dime into the hands of BoA, CitiGroup or any of the other big banks.
It's not class warfare - it's investing in yourself. Join a credit union. Bank local, shop local, invest loca.
I don't think he means withdrawing. He means that all investors should be receiving profit sharing, not just the CEOs. Like Ford for example. Allan Mullaly took a $26 million bonus, and union workers all got profit sharing checks as well. But investors like myself received no dividends.
Well he said pull it out of their hands and the idea to rush the places has already been brought up by many of the more radical protesters. I agree with this a little more but not so sure about crashing the system to fix it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Yeah, I don't think rushing the places is a good idea at all. Stealing is stealing no matter who it's from. We all grew up knowing the old Robin Hood tales, but it's still not "right" to do. Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself.
