(‘You Sleep When You Die’ Blog) If you are pissed off at the economy, you should be taking to the streets. But you shouldn’t be occupying Wall Street. You should be heading for Washington. And you should be occupying Obamaville. Barack Obama has never really grasped the central premise of a free-market economy (competition), and as a result his domestic “leadership” on economic issues is as bankrupt as any company that has tanked on his watch.

I personally have this deep deep suspicion that there will be all kinds of riots taking place closer to the elections, and then our current president will ‘postpone’ elections until the riots get sorted… which would be middle step to loosing the Republic.

Zimmerman is right.
Protesters should be at the doorstep of those that contributed to the economic farce our so-called representatives have been participating; both sides of the aisle and the political cronnies. This is the real Ponzi scheme. Madoff looks innocent next to those that make up our govt.
Any contributing elected official or involved private citizen that has stayed quiet while this economic crash was being instigated should be prosecuted for fraud against the the citizens and the country. They have been milking the system, many for years, and could probably put a large dent in the national debt.
We also need to quit supporting the media that hype our politics like a national championship of some sort.
