15. Why wait? Shut the spending down now. Do not underestimate the power and leverage of your consuner dollars.

Consumer dollars flow up to the top. Control the flow. Start with cutting as little as $25.00 a week. They say the No Kings March had 11 million people. If 11 million people cut $25.00 a week as an example, is $275 million, time 4-weeks a month, do the math. The more people that participate the larger the dent we put in their money supply. Screw the banks, cut down on credit card use. Deny them their processing fees.

If they can withhold, we can withhold.
