shirt slogans for hard times,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
A lot of people are out of work and feeling worthless. A lot of people are upset at the cost of health care, or the loss of health care. A lot of people are angry that the people who failed are the ones getting the bailouts. A lot of people are angry at bankers. A lot of people are angry at corporate executives' salaries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], benefits, and bonuses. A lot of people are angry at the rich getting the tax breaks.
How do you write T-shirt slogans about these resentments? The process is much like writing comedy routines. You search widely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], through many mental associations, to find enough interesting ideas to work with,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and you search for specifics, for concrete things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looking especially for conflicts and ironies.
Here are some ideas for T-shirts for people who are out of work:
You can address the feelings of worthlessness: "Out of work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? Don't feel worthless. I haven't even fired one person,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]." ". I've never yet caused a world-wide economic meltdown." ". The only investor's retirement I've lost was mine."
Then there's the acknowledgement of being out of work: "My company decided they could go bankrupt without me." Or one of the cliches: "I'm managing my wealth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]." "I've left to spend more time with my family."
I made up some calling cards listing my occupation as "Gentleman." On T-shirts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you might have a slogan: "I'm a gentleman*" or "The economy has elevated me to a gentleman*". And a footnote: "*gentleman: someone who pursues no occupation or profession for money."
And there are the acknowledgements of the job-hunting life: "I'm job-hunting on the Internet. I'm a whiz at Freecell"
And you can always resort to hyperbole -- I hope it is hyperbole: "In these economic times, I'm simplifying my life to what will fit in two shopping bags."
It's a good time for class resentment: "My boss has a golden parachute. Mine is lead." "We all have our social causes: the rich firmly oppose class warfare." "If you don't let CEOs loot their own companies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whose company will they loot?" "We need the rich. Who else will build the McMansions?" For those who remember trickle-down economics,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's: "Tinkle-down economics -- give money to the rich,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they will tinkle down on the rest of us." And to pick on the bankers: "Bankers getting bonuses? So what? They've got to do something with that money and they're not lending."
Of course you could apply some irony: "Thank goodness the rich still have their tax cuts. After I get my job back,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], get my health care back, get my home back, I'll be looking for one of those tax cuts."
Speaking of health care: "We used to be wage slaves. Now we're health-care slaves." How about these: "We've got choice in health care: we can choose to see a doctor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or buy medicine, or pay our rent, or buy groceries." "We've got choice in health care: The Health-care companies can choose whether to insure us and how much to charge." Or: "Say 'No!' to socialized medicine. Make it your choice which doctor you can't afford to see."
And of course, you can go for a more pervasive cynicism: "Don't even think of applying for a bailout if your failure cost less than $10 billion." "The American economy: if you're not too big to fail, you're too small to succeed." "Why aren't the American people too big to fail?" "Politics -- replacing American know-how with know-who."
These are some ideas for slogans you can put on T-shirts. I'll bet you already have an idea of how to do them better and ideas for more. Go to it. I'll be putting some of them on T-shirts myself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I'll give you a head start.
