OWS Sign Suggestions

[Galraedia]

Anyone got any sign suggestions for Occupy Wall Street?

So far I've got:

-"A corporation is as much a person as a schoolbus is a child."

-"Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

-"Labor: If all wealth is gained from it, why is it that most of the wealthy never have to do it?"

-"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

-"Police - protecting and serving the shit out of you"

-"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they're free"

-"The only thing that trickled down were Boehner's tears"

1. Good ones! I like what Felonius Munk said recently, badly quoting:

"If capitalism is the best way to do things, why are we $1 trillion in debt to China?"

[snagglepuss]

2. "Money Talks Too Much"

[tavalon]

6. Love it!!!

[aquart]

13. I want the button.

[Rhiannon12866]

3. K&R! Really great!

Though the last one made me :rofl: :thumbsup:

[Selatius]

4. "We're not machines in a factory, farming equipment on a field, counting machines in the office ...

We're human beings with dreams, hopes, and aspirations. You can't throw us away or declare us obsolete or outsource us."

[tavalon]

5. Number 2 is a winner

Number 4 is sublime.

Here's another. "Help the Police, Beat Yourself Up."

Sorry, couldn't help it.

[tavalon]

7. And of course, there is

"Remember, Remember, The Fifth Of November" Bank Transfer Day. See my new sig line.

[socialindependocrat]

8. I liked, "Civil obediance is the problem." n/t

[Capitalocracy]

9. We're not protesting against corporations. We're not protesting against the government.

We're protesting against the fact that there's no difference between the two.

K&R, btw

10. Schoolbus serves a useful public service; corporations only exist to make profit/exploit labor.

ETA: thus the comparison is not valid.

I like most of the gist in your other signs though, I think. :)

14. NOT TRUE.

Every business has to incorporate. These businesses are how we exchange goods and services. This is how we feed our families. And use our skills.

Most of the businesses in this country, this world, are part of the 99%. PLEASE remember that.

And it is terrifying when you have worked 80 hours a week to watch the business that holds your heart, sweat, and money fail only because no one has the money to buy anything you offer anymore.

16. sorry, still no sympathy for corporations. nt

[aquart]

20. That's going to be a big problem.

Because making that distinction and bringing in the small business people is going to matter.

[pansypoo53219]

11. of corporations, by corporation, FOR corporations.

[aquart]

12. No man should be so rich he has nothing left to buy but his government.

[snagglepuss]

23. That is greatttt.

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. I LOVE that!

It's PERFECT. :) It says it all.

[chillspike]

15. .

Corporate taxes are the price modern industry pays for taking away the individuals ability to provide for themselves.

Competition is a danger to the survival of the competitors.

No one has ever starved for food in this world for lack of money. We starve for food in this world for lack of friends. Competition makes everyone enemies and we all eventually starve.

The more competition you see within the same species, the less successful a species it is.

We are here to survive AS A SPECIES, not as competitors. If you're not, then have the decency to renounce your citizenship to humanity.

17. Revoke Corporate Personhood

War = Deficit



BTW - I love the last one on your list !

[Gregorian]

18. You must not have read the preamble to the Constitution.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.



It seems to me that it's all there. But then I'm not awake yet. But really, it shouldn't be too hard to condense this so that the idiots get that lightbulb moment. Hey, maybe the tea party is going the wrong direction.
