In the spirit of this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=578559&highlight=stewart+sign+rally) on the Stewart/Colbert rally last fall, what signs would you like to see on Wall Street?

Some from the previous thread are still valid IMHO:

Or this [one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12950604&postcount=176).

And this [one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12976523&postcount=235).  
The one I want to see  
**“Let’s make Wall Street as miserable as they made the rest of America!”**

Please keep this more on the lighter side. There is already a [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=626531) in Great Debates for more serious policy discussions.

Also I would love to see a giant screen on Wall Street with a twitter feed from supporters (which might be a tricky feat to keep it from being hijacked).

I love this one…with an addendum.

“or be pushed. It’s the last option you will ever trade.”  
I also reflect on some wisdom from the movie “Trading Places”. It seems the thing that hurts people with money the most is taking that money away. So line the bastards up and make them poor.

Something like “You can save your bank or save yourself. You can’t save both. You have 5 minutes to choose.”

Heh.

My favorite so far is “Lost my job, found my occupation.”
