It's not necessary for Americans to physically lay down a carpet of whupass or kidnap CEOs like they did in France, but we at least need to show some spine. And greater numbers wouldn't hurt.

There are 70 million Democrat voters. How many of them took to the streets at any one time between 2008 to 2012? What percentage of liberals took to the streets in France? Compare and discuss.

3. one factor

Is that unions serve as a major mobilizing force in France, Italy, and other European countries.

We don't have near the union presence in the U.S. that they do.

6. Let me ask you a question?

What makes someone a "power elite"? I live in Boston, where many rich and powerful people live, and I can tell you that almost all of them are Obama supporters.

7. some one who amasses a fortune

and uses it to fuck over people less fortunate than themselves to me is the most basic definition.

5. Those of us who are in the streets need to stick together for ourselves, build something and

they will come.
