Every single time some wealthy asshole opens his mouth and puts down the OWS movement...

[Contrary1]

we need to hit them where it hurts. Right now, it's evidently not costing them near enough personally.

Boycott their businesses, find out what other companies they are heavily invested it, blog about it, whatever we can do to further get their attention. The protests are great, but there's so much more we can do.

They love their money, let's see how they like having less of it.

1. I agree with you

And I think this will happen. The class warfare has started for real now.

2. Yes.

3. Herman Cain thinks that we are lazy? BOYCOTT Godfathers Pizza! Let's show him how lazy we are.

In fact I intend to prove to myself how disciplined I am, not only will I not eat at Godfathers pizza I will only eat in "Mom and Pop" restaurants and small business for the next two years!

5. Wasn't it in "Trading Places" that Eddie Murphy said

"It occurs to me that the best way to hurt rich people, is to make them poor." I loved the scene at the end of the movie where the Dukes were sitting on a sidewalk whining about whose fault it was for them being so greedy.

7. I was just watching MSNBC, with Rev Al and he had a

picture of an a building (didn't catch the city) with a "I am the 1%" sign in the window. I have been looking for the photo to post, but no luck, hopefully someone can do a screen cap.

Talk about rubbing your face in it.

14. Boycotts no longer work.

You can't hurt someone financially who has millions stashed in offshore accounts. Any losses, any lost revenue will not hurt the CEO's. THey will cut thopudsands of jobs before they will take any kind of personal loss.
