[/caption]As the protests continue in Wisconsin, the protesters like to compare themselves to the protestors and rioters in Egypt, protesting an oppressive regime which did not allow their people to hold free and democratic elections, and repress the people via suppression of free speech and high taxes. While they are both protesting, the comparison is false, and is in fact the opposite: while Egypt was attempting to reduce government repression, these protesters are looking to increase it, to gain at the expense of others. If you want to compare this to other protests, this is more like what happened in Greece, where government workers were asking for more handouts, when there wasn’t nay money left. That’s a bit less noble, don’t you think, but true, nonetheless. These protesters want more money out of OUR pockets, not freedom. BIG difference, if you ask me.
