Peter Schiff is the 1%
That second dude wanted to be IRATE, but Schiff's comments completely shut him down and he knew it.
“Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” - Dr Thomas Sowell
It reinforces what I suspected: half of them don't know why they are protesting beyond a nebulous opposition of whatever they perceive as the reason they are "kept down;" ie, "The Man," and to them The Man = republicans/tea baggers/conservatives/baby boomers/white people/whatever. 40% of the other half know what they are protesting about, but have come to the wrong conclusions about it, and the other 10% know what they are protesting and have aimed at the correct, but are only there during their lunch break because they have jobs to do, and besides, they soon realize they are surrounded by idiots.
