1. Yor wealth has been stolen from you!
This will only become more and more apparent,. to those of you who still don't see it. The banksters have stolen the future, if you allow them to get away with it, you will be forever poorer. The system of debt speculation for the profits of the few is over,. we the people must make this so or lose more and more to the greedsters.

2. The world's corporate-elite and super rich have a choice to make:
Edited on Tue Mar-29-11 10:20 AM by Moostache
1) Recognize that their unbridled greed and abhorrence of taxes has set society on a self-destruct course...and willingly decide to become part of the solution instead of the entire problem...

or

2) Try to keep everything and sit in puzzled amazement as society and civilization crumbles into anarchy and ruin all around them.

Its really very simple - unregulated capitalism is a financial weapon of mass destruction in and of itself. The ONLY way to maintain a capitalist-like economy is through very tough government regulation in the name of the people of all countries. The American ethos of "more, bigger, better" and constant spending to keep up with the Joneses is suicide without adequate wages and distribution of profits to sustain a viable consumer class.

As the middle class across the globe is wiped out, we will be returning to a true feudal system without a massive change in values - but the difference between the original feudal times and the present is firearms. It was far easier to control the population as kings and royalty when the most lethal item available was a bow and arrow. Its a far different equation when automatic weapons and explosives to make IEDs are available in quantities like they are in the USA.

If the rich want a total bloodbath that they and everyone else in the process will lose, then they can continue to ignore the warning signs and unrest. Peaceful protests become riots become revolutions become civil wars become genocide all too easily once the momentum is allowed to continue unabated. Anything less than a total redistribution of corporate and private "profits" into REAL wages and REAL jobs and FAIR, PROGRESSIVE taxes is going to eventually result in chaos. I believe that the end game could be put off until the end of my lifetime, but there is no chance it can be avoided by my children under the status quo and that makes me truly sad.

To live with the knowledge that my children are going to inherit and face a destroyed world and unimaginable trials is overwhelmingly depressing. What makes me even more jaded was the way the last major issue that people truly mobilized for (the protests of the Iraq War back in 2003-2004) was completely marginalized and ignored by orders of the corporate mouthpiece media - the CMM. Protests seem to have lost their viability given the lack of honest media coverage and the total lies of the spin machine in the CMM.

3. Free market capitalism sounds harmless until it is explained that this
system relies on failure...there are winners and losers... and the losers are pinning their failures onto the people who are saying no, and taking to the streets...


Holland has cancelled bankers big bonuses, and this people power will happen in Cairo, and it will happen in Wisconsin...

4. As per usual, Max boils and condenses the issue down to it's essence.
Brilliant. I hope you get more and more visible on the networks.

5. I hope people will look at this explanation about why workers salaries need to be increased
rather than decreased... I'm going to watch this segment one more time, because it really is a good point... If capitalism is going to work-people need capital...
