Sign Help, Please! I want to make a "Priceless" themed sign
For our next OccupyTampa march.... Here are the facts I gathered:

Percent increase in wealth of top 1% since 1978 = 169
Hourly increase in minimum wage since 1978 = $2.16

Florida's National Ranking for foreclosures = 4th
Subprime Mortgage Fraudsters arrested = 0
Credit Default Swap speculators arrested = 0
Peaceful protesters arrested = 800

The Hope this movement gives me = Priceless

Why are we here? Why aren’t YOU here?

#OccupyWallStreet
#OccupyTampa
#OccupyTogether

It seems to big. Too wordy. There are great writers on DU. Any advice?

1. In my opinion, keep it short. Perhaps something like this...
Subprime Mortgage Fraudsters arrested = 0
Credit Default Swap speculators arrested = 0
Peaceful protesters arrested = 800

The Hope this movement gives me = Priceless

2. Another DUer came up with this:

Wall St. Protesters Arrested: 800+
Wall St. Banksters Arrested: 0

Financing the oligarchy has its advantages

3. Would be a good meme for multiple signs
Keep them short and pithy.

To the 1%ers:



Signed, -The 99%


Your opinion may vary...

*Sorry I know this offers nothing to the OP, I was just feeling snarky.

Good luck in Tampa, and of course; THANK YOU!!!
