Reply #10: I don't think people will take to the streets

until they are desparate enough. People are still too busy trying to make ends meet to realize what is happening in this country. They don't realize that American corporations have taken over the government and is in the process of eliminating the middle class.

The people that run these companies don't care whose lives they ruin.
So what if the CEO's and CFO's cook the books and inflate the price of the stock, all while granting themselves huge numbers of options and cashing before the shit hits the fan and the small investor (usually the employees)are devastated financially. there's no price for them to pay when they get caught. a couple months at some low security prison and fines that are a mere pittenence of what they stole.

They think they'll be safe with their money in their fortified gated communities.

I fear for them if this ever happens.
