The Ants vs. Grasshoppers Movement 2009

Tired of watching the government bailout grasshoppers with YOUR money? WE ARE TOO!

Do you remember the Aesop fable about the ant and the grasshopper? The ant worked hard all summer to store food for the winter while the grasshopper played and sang in the sun and wasted his time. Come winter, the ant was warm and fed in her nest while the grasshopper was cold and starving above. The grasshopper begged the ant to take him in but the ant refused for she had her own family to think about.

This story teaches a valuable lesson and the ending has been modified and made an allegory for modern times but simply put, those that spent every dollar they had and bought expensive cars, houses and everything else on credit have reached the winter of their lives. They are now begging us ants (those of us who saved, put off expensive purchases for another day and planned for our retirement) for help and they have voted in a government that will steal it from us with higher taxes.

Most of us are charitable people and will freely give what we can to help these grasshoppers but the government doesn’t trust us. They will mortgage our children’s future to bail out these grasshoppers. Well we don’t know about you, but we've had enough! We've written to our congressman and senators with no avail so we're beginning to think no one is listening.

We designed this decal for those of us who agree that the government is doing the wrong thing and we, the ants, are mad as hell. Our hope is that you will display this symbol on your car, at your business, on your front door or anywhere else to show other likeminded ants that we are not alone. Maybe if our representatives and senators see enough decals they will re-consider their wasteful policies. Even if they don’t, at least we will have the satisfaction of making our statement! Someone once said that a good idea is impossible to stop once it gets going.

If you would like your decal see our products page on how to order. We are selling them at modest cost because like a good ant, we're also capitalists. Join the revolution show you care about the direction our country is heading.
