We are the fucking power of the purse

Not our "representatives" in Congress.

Let's make the day after Thanksgiving "Red Friday" and make the following Monday "Analog Monday." Make this a warning shot over the bow.

Fuck every one of these obscenely rich motherfuckers by doing the one thing they fear, fuck with their money, which is our money.

Don't buy shit.

cha, ching.
Surprised that you don't know what that word means.
Are you mistaking it for the word ch**k, which is a racist word for the Chinese people.

It doesn’t really sound like that. It looks like chin*. I thought you were trying it to Chinese products.

You can hear the Cha Ching at the very beginning of the song, which, BTW, is a great song about corporate greed.
