It's not trickle-down, it's trickle-up.
And you Republican clowns will starve without us.
I for one will not buy Republican, will not hire Republican,
will not invest in Republican. Fuck you all, Republican losers.

They don't need us. They have stolen all of the planet's resources.

Just need a servant class to take care of them.

Want to see their revenues dry up and their stock tank? Stop buying their products.

capitalism is a distant memory.

But yes I think it is high time for boycotts of the elite.
That is the only thing they will understand.
