Of course all the attention is going to these fairly pointless protests but the fact that what happens in Greece soon will have a far greater effect on most Americans than a bunch of people being anti-everything. As soon as it gets cold the protesters for the most part will disappear, the profiteers like fat Micheal Moore will fly back to Beverly Hills and the politicians will go right back to slapping banks on the wrist (ridiclous credit card rules which have already turned against consumers) while at the same time slipping cash into their pockets (bailouts to protect those injured in the upcoming Eurozone meltdown.

They're not protesting "greed" so much as they are protesting a system they see as rigged against the middle class.

Michael Moore lives in Michigan.

I agree with you about the state of economic affairs in Europe.
