We are paying attention and Americans are beginning to rise up against the Kleptocracy. This weekend may be the beginning of anti government demonstrations not affiliated with the Tea Party. The Day of Rage could be the spark that ignites the public rage that has become much more personal as stagflation harvests what little remaining disposable income we have left. This video has been around for a while but I notice that it is coming up on 10 million hits, so if you can't get out be seen, at least join them in spirit.
Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, from Greek: κλέπτης (thief) and κράτος (rule), is a term applied to a government subject to control
fraud that takes advantage of governmental
corruption to extend the personal wealth and
political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats), via the embezzlement of state funds at the
expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest
service. The term means "rule by thieves". Not an official form of government such as a democracy, republic, monarchy, or theocracy; a kleptocracy is
rather a pejorative for a government perceived to have a particularly severe
and systemic problem with the selfish misappropriation of public funds by those in power.
