Sure, but they won't do anything about it. The best Americans could do over the Wall Street / banker bailout nonsense was Occupy Wall Street. And like I said, these companies are EXPLODING in other areas of the world, so losing a very small percentage of Americans probably isn't that big a deal at the end of the day.

I used to think there was a tipping point, but I don't anymore. The fight has been bred and/or scared out of us. No one is going to make a stand against anyone or anything. At best you'll get a
little boycotting, organized peaceful protests that will eventually get crushed by law enforcement, and everyone changing their Facebook avatar to something stupid. That will be the face of the next American revolution.
Obama is a pawn, as Bush before him was. The next guy in line will keep it all going, as will the guy after him. And if at the end of the day I am wrong and all hell breaks loose over this, the Gov just has to lie and say they are not doing it anymore and/or cook up a new boogieman and it will all go away. In a month or two no one will even be talking about this anymore.
