I demand we keep using children in our protests and making them hold up our signs for that perfect photo-op. Everyone knows the left loves using children to get what we want.
Even though they may be too young to understand how economics works or anything else for that matter, we'll still make them hold up signs for our cause. There is nothing the left does better than use The Children™ in our propaganda.
So lets pretend you are standing around at Zuccotti Park wearing your Che shirt, holding up your "DOWN WITH CORPORATIONS" sign and some Tea Party Terrorist comes up to you and asks you questions, simply respond with "It's for The Children™"
Lets practice:
More taxes (as long as it's not for me)? It's for The Children™
Keep outrageous government spending? It's for The Children™
Wealth redistribution? It's for The Children™
Big government in every aspect of your life? It's for The Children™
Marxism? It's for The Children™
Obama? It's for The Children™
How could anyone hate children? This will surely further our movement. Just keep practicing and use the tips above and we can't go wrong.
For gods sake, won't someone think of the children?
You forgot:
Obama's Plan: White Slavery
Obamanomics: Monkey See, Monkey Do
GOD only asks for 10%
Honk if my parents are paying your mortgage.
Oh, wait, no, those were kids holding tea party signs.

That's why I am moving to Switzerland !
THERE IS ONE WAY TO USE a child. leave them at home and teach them something better, if you can't, teach them to use tools. there is no reason to put them at the front of possible harm.

Don't fall for this psychological crap from any one percent goon. It's an obvious attempt to discredit our cause and break our will. Don't fall for it. Just follow the law and keep protesting no matter what the one percent goons say or do. Our message is vital. Below is my two cents:
We have been mislead by Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, and nearly every other public figure. Economic growth, job creation, and actual prosperity are not necessarily a package deal. In fact, the first two are horribly misunderstood. Economic growth/loss (GDP) is little more than a measure of wealth changing hands. A transfer of currency from one party to another. The rate at which it is traded. This was up until mid ’07′ however, has never been a measure of actual prosperity. Neither has job creation. The phrase itself has been thrown around so often, and in such a generic politicali manner, that it has come to mean nothing. Of course, we need to have certain things done for the benefit of society as a whole. We need farmers, builders, manufacturers, transporters, teachers, cops, firefighters, soldiers, mechanics, sanitationi workers, doctors, managers, and visionaries. Their work is vital. I’ll even go out on a limb and say that we need politicians, attorneys, bankers, investors, and entertainers. In order to keep them productive, we must provide reasonable incentives. We need to compensate each by a fair measure for their actual contributions to society. We need to provide a reasonable scale of income opportunity for every independent adult, every provider, and share responsibility for those who have a legitimate need for aid. In order to achieve and sustain this, we must also address the cost of living and the distribution of wealth. Here, we have failed miserably. The majority have already lost their home equity, their financial security, and their relative buying power. The middle class have actually lost much of their ability to make ends meet, re-pay loans, pay taxes, and support their own economy. The lower class have gone nearly bankrupt. In all, its a multi-trillion dollar loss taken over about 30 years. Millions are under the impression that we need to create more jobs simply to provide more opportunity. as if that would solve the problem. It won’t. Not by a longshot. Jobs don’t necessarily create wealth. In fact, they almost never do. For the mostpart, they only transfer wealth from one party to another. A gain here. A loss there. Appreciation in one community. Depreciation in another. In order to create net wealth, you must harvest a new resource or make more efficient use of one. Either way you must have a reliable and ethical system in place to distribute that newly created wealth in order to benefit society as a whole and prevent a lagging downside. The ‘free market’ just doesn’t cut it. Its a farce. Many of the jobs created are nothing but filler. The promises empty. Sure, unemployment reached an all-time low under Bush. GDP reached an all-time high. But those are both shallow and misleading indicators. In order to gauge actual prosperity, you must consider the economy in human terms. As of ’08′ the average American was working more hours than the previous generation with far less equity to show for it. Consumer debt, forclosure, and bankruptcy were also at all-time highs. As of ’08′, every major American city was riddled with depressed communities, neglected neighborhoods, failing infrastructures, lost revenue, and gang activity. All of this has coincided with massive economic growth and job creation. Meanwhile, the rich have been getting richer and richer and richer even after taxes. Our nation’s wealth has been concentrated. Again, this represents a multi-trillion dollar loss taken by the majority. Its an absolute deal breaker. Bottom line: With or without economic growth or job creation, you must have a system in place to prevent too much wealth from being concentrated at the top. Unfortunately, we don’t. Our economy has become nothing but a giant game of Monopoly. The richest one percent already own nearly 1/2 of all United States wealth. More than double their share before Reagan took office. Still, they want more. They absolutely will not stop. Now, our society as a whole is in serious jeapordy. Greed kills.
I have to take 3 days off for work. I have an u usual schedule. Keep up the protest.
Because you don't want to be one of those idiots who uses "it's for the children" as cheap campaigning? You actually want to use reasons that have depth and truth to them maybe?
If you can't win this without resorting to such cheap tactics, you don't deserve to win at all.
