Forget protesting. Violence in the streets gives the authorities permission for a crackdown.

Hack, leak and blow the whistle on any financial crimes that have produced the current situation.

My wife and I were in Greece last summer. The magnitude of the unemployment problem is shocking. Their economy has been contracting at a rate of 5% per year. They're in an economic death spiral with no way out. Parents are telling their children to leave the country if they want to have a future. Greece is a beautiful place with very nice people. It was incredibly sad to see.

Exactly. There is a tipping point, at which government grows so large, that it's nearly impossible to have innovation and business expansion. Greece is the extreme example. The rest of the EU is close behind. The US is quickly gaining ground on them with Obama and the Dems pushing their utopian bullshit as well.

Unfortunately, the young people in the US are the ones that will get left holding the bag on this when the economy implodes. Ironically, they are the ones that fall for the handout promises hook line and sinker. They vote Democrat by a wide margin.

This is what you get when you let idiots vote....

TBH, that video's probably heavily edited, missed out all the people who said they didn't want a ban on corporate profits.

From what I saw at that convention and hear from Dems, that's doubtful. I'd say 1 out of 3 Dems feels that way deep down.
