Looking for a short and sweet quote.

[The Backlash Cometh]

If there was a quote, short and sweet, that would exemplify the OWS movement, which would it be?

[Fumesucker]

1. Someone who has a house full of old newspapers stacked everywhere is a hoarder and has an illness..

Take the same person and the same house and fill it with stacks of money and they are a hero to be copied.

[alfredo]

7. Edit down to the fewest words possible. Equal signs coulc

be use. Hoard newspapers = weirdo Hoard money = hero (or something similar)

[drokhole]

2. This might be perfect...

...or maybe not, but I just happened to post it last night in this thread:

"The youth of humanity all around our planet are intuitively revolting from all sovereignties and political ideologies. The youth of Earth are moving intuitively toward an utterly classless, raceless, omnicooperative, omniworld humanity. Children freed of the ignorantly founded educational traditions and exposed only to their spontaneously summoned, computer-stored and -distributed outflow of reliable-opinion-purged, experimentally verified data, shall indeed lead society to its happy egress from all misinformedly conceived, fearfully and legally imposed, and physically enforced customs of yesterday. They can lead all humanity into omnisuccessful survival as well as entrance into an utterly new era of human experience in an as-yet and ever-will-be fundamentally mysterious Universe."

- R. Buckminster Fuller

(edit: there are a few other Fuller quotes I posted in that thread that are just as great)

3. People over profits

nt.

[Scuba]

4. I don't mind you being rich. I mind you buying my government.

[alfredo]

6. I like the direction of that. Play with it, pare it down, work

with the cadence, and rhyme.

[Scuba]

14. I don't mind that you be rich. Mind you buy my gov-a-mint.

[alfredo]

17. Being rich Is hot, buying congress is not. I guess I want it

short enough to be read by a passing driver.

5. maybe

Off of a t-shirt

"The country is broken because the system is fixed"

[woo me with science]

8. That's nice.

Yes, the slogan needs to capture the corruption, not just the wealth.

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. Corruption, or the systemic inequality. Which is one and the same.

[JHB]

11. For the people trying to get ahead, not for those who already are

[woo me with science]

9. Americans love winners. They just can't stand cheaters...

was something Robert Reich crystallized in one of his columns. It has to capture the corruption.

[JackRiddler]

12. "We are occupying Wall Street because Wall Street has occupied Washington."

That's the best single sentence I've heard.

[Drew Richards]

13. "IT DOES NOT REQUIRE MANY WORDS TO SPEAK THE TRUTH" Chief Joseph Nez Perce Tribe

[Horse with no Name]

15. I'm pretty much in love with my sig quote

and the history of the man who said it!

[JackRiddler]

16. And here is a perfect summary of today's developments...

"A military style raid on peaceful protesters camped out in the shadow of Wall Street, ordered by a cold ruthless billionaire who bought his way into the mayor’s office."

18. k, I'll play

When the people unite
So shall their overlords fight

[DianeK]

19. My signature line would work well for the movement
