Printing Infographics On Money Shows Reality Of Occupy Wall Street

There’s something going on with Occupy Wall Street — good, bad, monumental, anarchy, I don’t know — but there is a clear disparity between the 1 per cent and the 99 per cent, and the voice of the 99 per cent is slowly ringing louder. Here’s one way to get the 1 per cent to pay even more attention: taint their money.

Occupy George is a movement that hopes to print and stamp infographics that highlight the economic disparity in the US and then circulate that money around the world. The point being they could ignore and muzzle the Occupy Wall Street movement, but the 1 per cent can’t ignore the money.

Facts like how 400 Americans control as much wealth as the bottom half of the country and pie charts illustrating the share of income growth and images saying this money is the future property of the 1 per cent are all printed on dollar bills. It’s clever, probably illegal but if executed properly, could gain a lot of attention. I’d start printing and stamping $US100 bills though… Check out the Occupy George movement here. [Occupy George]

    When you’re that rich you never deal with physical money. Someone else will be fetching you items that require small change

      They should stamp these infographics on the side of their limos and private jets then…

      That is kind of the point. The 1% aren’t going to change. But this constant reminder to the over worked and under paid might get them to research the issue further.

    There was a poem in the album art for Rage Against The Machine’s “Renegades” album that was about writing messages on money as a form of protest.

    It was pretty cool, the last page had a dollar bill with “YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE” written across it.

    Great, now my taxes will go up AGAIN to build more Federal prisons to house the idiots defacing currency.

    Grow up, you children. You’re already breaking the cities you’re trashing. The taxpayers are getting the bill for your little camping trips with Commies and Nazis.
