Vive La Revolution! by Bill Bonner

Vive La Revolution! by Bill Bonner:
"But the poor protestors are just victims of history. When the US embraced its empire it condemned its middle classes. Why? Because that’s how empires work. They bring in cheap goods – and sometimes money itself – from outside. Whether they are taken as booty or traded for the imperial currency, the effect is about the same; they undermine local industries and local wages."
