European Protests May Derail "Necessary" Austerity Measures (worry "investors")

Little injection of propaganda with the finance sector's headlines: finance takes 40% of all US profits, so of course to them, austerity is "necessary". No austerity = less money in their pockets.

Our wages & benefits = their costs.

Our austerity = their profit.

5. Why do you hate America?
I mean ... the Native Indians weren't murdered for their lands for nuthin.

It was just the start of the entrepreneurial endeavor (aka: exploitation) known as the USA ... and if you don't truly appreciate entrepreneurial endeavors then you hate America.

America was founded on the principle of freedom for entrepreneurial endeavor.
