For the first time in at least thirty years, victims of financial abuse have dug their trenches and refused to go quietly into the night. Whether it was wage stagnation, NAFTA, or Enron literally getting rich by shutting off California's power, Americans had been increasingly conditioned to accept their economic injustices (blessed are the meek, amirite?) and trudge onward. With each injustice, we were told to suck it up and press ahead towards the next recovery (see: speculative bubble) and please don't forget to go shopping, O Noble Patriots!
