We must stop spending money! We also need to take to the streets! [View all]

When we spend money we are usually paying tax (unless at a thrift store or garage sale, etc).

Consumer spending holds up the economy.

Holding back from spending is a form of protest whereby we express our extreme dissatisfaction. And holding back from spending money (on wants, not needs) will hurt the economy and turn the people against the administration.

It’s also time for another No Kings protest where we break the precious record for attendance. We must bring this tyrannical regime to its knees!
