5. This march symbolizes the solidarity between the middle class
and the young and lower class people.

The middle class is being hung out to dry at this G20 meeting. They've grabbed everything they could from the poor, right down to the dignity of a roof over your head. The foreclosures were the first attack on the middle class.

Middle class people don't demonstrate in a loud or destructive way. They aren't trying to take what they have never had. They just want to get back what they have lost. Naomi Klein is in the vanguard.

The sad thing is that we are being told that if we don't think that the fraud, the cheating and the greed of the Financial Industry, the CEOs and the born-too-rich-to-care crowd is OK, then we must be socialists.

That is false.

The vast majority of us are not socialists at all.

We are protesting against the perversion of capitalism that is now victimizing us, cannibalizing us, not to honest capitalism.
