Argentina's Economic Collapse - Part 2 of 12

Part 3: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=JPddW3da2aA

Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina's assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition. Official name: Memoria del Saqueo by Fernando Solanas 2003.

The thing is its the good, honest working people of Argentina that suffered as a result of corporate companies taking control. The bastards who caused the economic crisis should have been made to pay, not the honest public who work to feed their families. I have great admiration for the people of Argentina, they were very brave to continue to protest amid tear gas, riot police and horses. Here in the U.K protesting is very lame and gets no results.

[ultimatefreedom1983]

@tommy35ss (like in THE HANGOVER).....and u believe that?.........

[tommy35ss]

@ultimatefreedom1983 perhaps you don't know Ron Paul, he wants to end the federal reserve which is the source of corruption in the US. He wants to legalize sound money to compete with federal reserve notes which would prevent hyperinflation or at least give people the option to use something different. He has always voted with the Constitution. He has always been the exception to Washington. I don't know how you could say what you did, I'm not a dumbass

[ultimatefreedom1983]

@tommy35ss fuck ron paul u fucking dumbass......DONT U SEE THAT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME...THAT EVERYTHING .....EVERYTHING!.....ITS A FUCKING SHOW!....

[ultimatefreedom1983]

DEATH TO THE ELITE!...DEATH TO THE ELITE!...DEATH TO THE ELITE!.....

What ever happened to off with their heads? Seems like beheadings by organized people could eventually stop this in the future. I guess the apathy just grows. Then no one remembers to get back at the root cause.
