"The public seems have moved beyond the plaintive cry of ‘Feel our pain!’ to the more angry pronouncement of ‘You are causing our pain!’"

According to an NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll, here's what other people's signs would say (larger text means more people gave that answer)

Redefine all democracy as a pay for play position. Candidates would vie for 5 year terms and can be voted out annually within that time frame. Tear down existing tax laws, hire three people that would act as financial Ombudsmen for the government. They would be highly trained in all aspects of money management and accounting. Complete transparency showing every dollar in and out of government institutions and how it's being used. The Ombudsmen have final say over proposed taxes or how funds are to be allocated to address certain issues. They will also limit or veto excessive pensions for politicians that have worked a limited amount of years, or politicians that were not effective in their roles.

Create a fair tax system based on capital gains in, living/working expenses out. Standardize laws and bylaws across the nation. Higher wages for police, firemen, rescue workers.

Social/Medical aid candidates would be screened. Immigration would only allow a certain percentage of bodies to enter the country every year. They would be screened to ensure that they can work and support themselves.

Everyone that works pays a monthly fee for medicare, receives free medical treatment at clinics and hospitals.




:doh: I gotta fit all of this on a sign???.................. Ok, mine would say - Wake the f_ck up, we need to change.




looking at the two signs above I noticed that there's some crossover in ideas....interesting
