    Just for humor: First you say it's not about "eat the rich" then you link to an article showing exactly that.

    The start of the article isn't very promising. Being "unable to focus their complaints" reminds me of when Democrats talk about focusing, or effectively communicating their "message." As if they somehow worded their thoughts better people would agree with them. DC buzzwords.

    Those are nice, and exhaustive graphs, but all their only purpose is to point fingers at corporations when the real problems consist of things like uncertainty and poor political leadership. "The new normal" isn't. This is more like "what's old is new again."

    Does the article even take Europe's problems into account? Not Europe as a whole but the ongoing financial instability caused by certain countries.

    So, to sum up: There are a lot of factors influencing our current problems. What you are seeing, and what people are reacting to, are the symptoms, which are easy to see and point a finger at. They're missing the point and that's why I don't respect them.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
