To All American Patriots. STOP Buying Now!

No homes, no cars, no computers, nada, nothing but the absolute necessities like food, pet care, utilities etc... If you want to hurt these people, you have to use your purchasing power and we don't have to buy anything we don't need. Let's hit these grifters and pussy grabbing money grubbers right where it hurts them the most.

And if people do that then the businesses will lay off their employees such as many
Duress who have jobs working for those companies.

You can't just implode the economy and put thousands or millions Americans out of a job to make the country better. Perhaps you should re-think your strategy.

And honestly, the people this was intended to hurt most are so loaded, it doesn't really impact them. They just want more.

Register for Econ 101 at your local college. Then register as many people to vote as you possibly can.
