What drives Americans to protest?

Over the past few weeks, the streets of Middle Eastern countries have been filled with protestors. Starting in Tunisia and spreading to Egypt, these protests don't seem to be dying down anytime soon. Is this the start of a revolution? And will these protests be coming to the US? RT's producer Lindsay Garfield takes a look at what causes would make Americans protest like the Egyptians.

US corporate media are specialized in keeping the masses ignorant of the crimes of their government and of the farce of American democracy. One of these days we'll see RT being expelled from the US for exposing the ugly truth.
