So Italy will be like the USA where parties block each other only for political reasons and totally destroy the country in the process?
The Italian people have my sympathy.

Italian politics was always hopeless — but never serious.

What’s happening in Italy is happening in America, too: Anger.

The American middle class is quickly being destroyed by the removal of protective tariffs by NAFTA, job outsourcing, and immigration.

The H1B visa program is quickly destroying the American engineering profession, the backbone of the middle class.

Families, careers, plans for children – all these aspects of American middle class life are being destroyed by unfettered globalization, all at the behest of the wealthy, and carried out by a Congress and a President that worship the wealthy.

The anger of the Roman citizen is that same anger.

And it is growing in America, too.
