The government is reporting that 50 percent of U.S. workers earned less than $26,364 last year, reflecting a growing income gap between the nation's rich and poor.
If this gap continues we will become just like Greece and riots will take place. I am not condoning riots, nor am I suggesting them.
But I also do not condone corruption or bullshit, and I sure as shit don't suggest them.
Power to the people. Greece was not a third world nation. I am begging you to wake up. I do not want riots in my country. I want peace and prosperity.
100,000 rioters

That is why we emphasize peace. The message gets lost when you riot. It also serves no purpose to destroy peoples stuff that probably had nothing to do with the reason you are rioting. People who incite violence are kicked out of the camps i know. You put everyone at risk by doing this and if decide to riot then you need to go to jail. You are endangering peoples lives on both sides by rioting.
Yes. Our day of reckoning is upon us.

Trevor,
Suppose that in 100 years, the bottom 10 percent of U.S. workers earned $80,000 a year, and the top 10 percent of U.S. workers earned $390,000 a year.
Everyone owns a car. Everyone owns a house. Everyone owns two televisions. Everyone eats.
...Why do you think these people have any right to riot?
