3. The won't give up their brutal 'Austerity' programs

which are nothing more than making the people pay for the gambling debts of the Banksters.

Blind leaders. And they will be shocked and amazed when the civil unrest their policies create, becomes more than can handle.

They are so removed from the people they are supposed to represent. Too wealthy to view their populations as equals.

It's remarkable that so many of those leaders who care nothing for their people should all be in these positions at the same time. That are no voices of reason among them.
