The rich got richer (way richer, the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich has been of historical proportions) , the political class has remained untouched and the media continued along its death spiral into mistrust and irrelevance. Those with the least to give were asked to give the most by the people sitting comfortably. There's lots thats going on at the protest I don't agree with, but I can't tell those people not to be pissed off. They have great reasons to be pissed, but they all have different reasons and the summation of the whole is a big mess that's drawing instigators and lunatics like moths to a flame. What recourse do they have other than get together in a big angry mob?

I hate the use of the term 'working class'. These are rural and perhaps you could use the term blue collar. Working class in this case seems to dismiss all the people working part time jobs or minimum wage jobs. Very hard to be poor and buy a big rig truck.
