Disregarding the personal attacks from those with nothing else to offer, I offer this. When did merchants become the enemy? These are just folks like us, trying to earn a living, employing other people, paying their rent or mortgages and feeding families. They are not the villains. So I don't understand this focus on punishing them. Look to where the real problems are, improper financial influence over government. Punish that on election day. Stay focused.

I suggest changing the title to "I Will Survive Capitalism" because that makes more sense regarding what the song/dance and intent was about on Black Friday.
