Make an April fool out of Scott Walker . . .

[mistertrickster]

Here’s my modest proposal for April 1st, April Fool’s Day:

we make a fool out of Scott Walker and his rich paymasters by buying nothing for 24 hours.

Let’s see how unimportant the middle class really is when we don’t buy groceries, go out to eat, buy gasoline, hire a gardener, or pop a coke out of a vending machine.

Granted, a few non-rich folks will also be impacted, like the wait-staff who don’t get a tip that day.

But this is class war, and in a war, there’s collateral damage.

We'll have to spread this message far and wide if it has any hope of making an impact.

1. This won't do squat to Walker and his cronies.

They'll just get more the next day.

[mistertrickster]

2. Okay, fair enough. What's your idea? nt

[Archae]

5. The only real thing that will work.

At least most of the time.

Vote the bastards out.

7. Brilliant. I think that's what happened in 2010. TO US. nt

[mistertrickster]

3. Yup, that's the problem. Lots of advice on what not to do.

On what TO DO, not so much.

4. Boycotts like that are useless.

You'll buy groceries and go out to eat on the 2nd or the 31st.

The economic and statistical impact is nothing.

Quit wasting your time and elect democrats next time, so this isn't even an issue.

8. Wow. File that under the easy to say impossible to do. How about we try the possible?

I spend quite a bit of time here in Kansas trying to elect Democrats.

Last election cycle, we had races for two Reps, one Senate, one Governor, one Secr'y of State.

You know how many Democrats won here?

ZERO.

Fucking ZERO.

Indiana did hardly better.

"Elect democrats" my ass . . .

[Skidmore]

6. Need action sooner than a month away.

[mistertrickster]

9. Great. Do something before that too. Geez, what a bunch of Debbie Downers

this place is.

No wonder we get our asses handed to us ever election.

All the Left knows how to say around here is, "that'll never work."
