Reply #97: Just a few items to illuminate how we resemble Egypt before the protests.

Mubarak was elected. It was a questionable election like all the bushes elections. But it was an election none the less.

Egypt officially claims they had a 9.4% unemployment rate in 2009. Do you believe how that matches the US official unemployment rate? Do you think maybe both numbers are fake? http://www.indexmundi.com/egypt/unemployment_rate.html

We are ruled by a corporate aristocracy, Egypt was ruled by a legally elected dictator.

We have judges who are bias and rule on cases based upon political power.

We have a supreme court who prevented the country from counting votes and selected our president for us. We have a supreme court that makes up laws and declared that corporations are people too.

We have torturers and war criminals walking the streets with no accountability. We have rich and powerful people breaking the law with no accountability. We have the rich who ignore laws and rub in our face. We have poor people who if they even look like they are going to break the law are crushed under the heel of the law.

We have terrorists roaming the streets who are actively encouraged to murder doctors, politicians and judges. They bomb clinics, murder whom ever they wish and are cheered by religious and political fanatics

Obama has just raised my taxes and everyone's taxes who make less than $20,000 a year or a family that makes less than $40,000 a year. Yet, all the very rich were funneled money through the Fed when they crashed the economy and through the bank bailouts AND given tax cuts.

People are losing their homes at levels not seen in the history of this country. The foreclosure rate and the bankruptcy rates are higher than during the 1st RepubliCON Great Depression.

Yeah, we are in no way as desperate as the Egyptians... or are we???

Lets protest like the Egyptian.

How about next Tuesday?
