The Looters & Moochers demand more of your money

A wake-up call for the United States.
Cutting spending saw riots and demonstrations across Europe.
Do American politicians have the balls to cut even one cent of spending
in the face of massive organized protests?

Socialism In Action

• 50% unemployment in Spain for those under 25 years old, 25.8% for the general population.
• 11.1% unemployment in the European Union.
• 10.5% unemployment in France.
• 25.4% unemployment in Greece.
• 15% unemployment in Ireland.
• 10.2% unemployment in Italy.
• 15.7% unemployment in Portugal.
• 23% youth unemployment in Britain.

The tree of Socialism is producing its poison fruit of unemployment, massive debt, more taxes, an unsustainable cradle-to-grave welfare state and a huge Big Government of Leftists who could not give a crap about business and economic growth.

Now the Looters and Moochers of society are demonstrating in the hundreds of thousands for even more tax money to prop up failed policies.

Everyone wants to suck on the teat
of the Public Treasury.

Hundreds of thousands of Europe’s beleaguered citizens went on strike or snarled the streets of several capitals Wednesday, at times clashing with riot police, as they demanded that governments stop cutting benefits and create more jobs.

Workers with jobs and without spoke of a “social emergency” crippling the world’s largest economic bloc, a union of 27 nations and half a billion people.

The protests were met with tear gas in Italy and Spain, but were largely limited to the countries hardest hit by the austerity measures designed to bring government spending into line with revenues. Wealthier nations like Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark saw only small, sedate demonstrations reports the Washington Post.


Anti-austerity action takes Europe by storm

Over 100,000 people march against UK's austerity plans 
Hundreds of thousands of people have marched across Britain to protest against the government's austerity measures.

Governments backing the line of stringent austerity were not impressed by the show of force.
“We must nevertheless do what is necessary: break open encrusted labor markets, give more people a chance to work, become more flexible in many areas,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said. “We will of course make this clear, again and again, in talks with the unions.”

Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos spoke of “a long crisis that has meant sacrifice and uncertainty,” but said: “The government is convinced that the path we have taken is the only possible way out.”

To combat a three-year financial crisis over too much sovereign debt, governments across Europe have had to raise taxes and cut spending, pensions and benefits. As well as hitting workers’ incomes and living standards, these measures have also led to a decline in economic output and a sharp increase in unemployment.
