/Too soon?

Abbie Hoffman smiles . . .

My apartment is totally corporate, man. Nothing but greedy capitalism. I make my living as a lobbyist for a conglomerate of oil companies, tobacco companies, whale harpooners, weapons manufacturers and "big media".

These people should come protest by dropping $5000 on my living room floor and then leaving.

/shoes off on the carpeting, please

Same problem with all money giveaways. The unintended consequences. How many un reported accidental head butts happened while picking up the cash? A all the pain and suffering for what? 14 lousy bucks? This; as in government handouts, always ends up the same. People who are intended to be helped by the program are actually hurt. And the best part is these loony lefties will say that it was because they did not throw enough money off the building. Perhaps we should let equally applied rule of law allow people to make money instead of waiting for it to fall from the sky.

This is surely going to work much better than engaging politicians directly or running for office himself.

it's rainin monies!!

expecting to see that...

If I were registered to vote, I'd send these clowns a message by staying home on election day and dressing up like a clown.

You'll sure show them.

Allen. The end.: I'll say it - this is cool. Not necessarily pragmatic, beneficial, or politically solvent, but cool.

I don't know, I guess the stunt got them on Fark etc. so it was somewhat effective. But I'd rather them sell rubber stamps with the slogan so anyone can stamp their money and have the idea spread that way.

Young and old, gather 'round,
Everybody hail the new King in town.

Time to do away with elections altogether. The presidency shall be decided by whichever candidate raises the most cash.

Not bad! Isn't there some law against defacing US currency? If so, I think every 12-year-old boy is in trouble!



If Spartan Andrew Jackson is wrong then I don't want to be right.

What are you blathering about?

Reminds me of "The Magic Christian."

Good question, I Googled it and it's apparently illegal to deface currency "with the intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued." Since the entire idea of this is to keep the cash circulating, it would seem perfectly legal. I know I've seen similar stamps on bills before.

Although it does raise the question on the legality of explosive dye packs placed in bank robber's bags by tellers. Isn't the intent there to render the money useless as well as dye the robber?

Beat me to it.

Hmm, there does appear to be a trend of that sort going on.

Exactly. Let's drop the pretense and just auction off all positions of office.

Hot damn, they actually did it. I read about their intention to do so a couple of weeks ago, but I kinda thought it would fizzle.

Also, I like the idea of rubber stamping money. Hmmm.

Great job stinkhippies, a perfect example of how easy it is for big Govt, mostly democrats, to throw away other people's money. That $5000 was donated, if those losers had jobs and worked for that money it wouldn't have ended up on the street.

Yo quiero meth.

That's actually pretty clever, because then all the politicians will reflexively chase the money off the side and plummet to their deaths.

They did the same thing on Valentine's Day with a much smaller sum of money. $500 I think. I wasn't sure they were even going to make their goal this time around.

If they manage to do this again, it's going to be huge.
