Panamanian American: Why aren't we in the streets for this?

This week's Politics Done Right on KPFT 90.1 FM was titled "We are owned by the 1% because they stole it from us. Reassert Ownership." We received a lot of calls but one from a Panamanian American really got to me. He reminded me of our approach to government in Panama that I think would put the fear into U.S. Politicians.

Here is our answer to a Panamanian American who called into Politics Done Right shocked that Americans are not in a more protesting mood on the streets, given today's realities. He recalls how others protest their governments elsewhere.

sounds different depending on which Spanish-speaking country the speaker is from. Puerto Ricans sound different from the Mexicans and Mexicans sound different than Panamanians.
