Roman History
Love of money is the root of all evil, and for those who lust for power, libido dominandi, their power is threatened. The system that rewards them astonishingly well is falling apart. They personally haven't the slightest idea of what to do about, or for that matter the inclination even if they did. There are a few Ron Pauls out there that care and understand, but they are too few too late.
Capitalism requires bailouts and war to keep going, just like socialism. Both have to prove their ability to keep people in line and extract people's earnings to pay the elite's bills, or their credit dries up and the game is over.
Like everyone else, those congress people expect to be elsewhere when the arrests start, or if they start sooner than expected, feel they understand the game well enough that they themselves will not be arrested. Or more to the point, whatever the risk, the alternative, being a nobody who works for a living, is a fate worse than death. We all think we are personally exempt. Maybe it is so in some cases, but I doubt any of us really are, one way or another.
This is why they dumbed down education in USA. We've seen all of this before. We know what is next. Well, we do if we got an education.

And requires respecting of property rights?
Well, that is not what they have in mind. But they wouldn't, would they?

Blame Obama, Hillary vs. Mitt, violence
All this is to run Obama out, so Hillary can be president. Mitt will become the Republican candidate because polls will show he can beat Obama. But when it gets down to it, elections will show he cannot be Hillary. Mitt is a socialist, and socialists do not like him, conservatives do not like him, so hillary will win.
In the meantime, calls for violence continue to be made. Just remember, if they call for violence, they work for the powers that be. Sure, protest and get tazed, peppered or even a nightstick shampoo, but never strike first or strike back. (And even the most superficial head wounds bleed like crazy, so they make great photo-ops).

When Communists Confab
But I was told sometign I think is more interesting about the meeeting, or a point that in fact has been reported, but may be more significant than noted. The BBC says:
He said the economic achievements of the last 30 years could be lost without "institutional" changes.
My correspondent notes that the chaos that foreigners experience and complain of in regards to trading with China, too flexible rules, whimsical contract adherence, disorderly market may be indeed painful to the 2 or 3 % of say the US market that is engaged with China, but those same problems aggravate the 100% of the Chinese in China who must endure the same problems.
He noted a fact that is well known, but significant in relation to the above meeting: in spite of having on quarter of the worlds population, there is not a single worldwide Chinese brand name. Not one. And within China, there is not a single brand trusted in China.
Even Apple Computer had its entire stores copied, with employees hired, ones who believed they were working for Steve Jobs. This is chaos.
How this came to be, what the Communist Party plans to do about it, what is likely to happen, and what it means to those who trade with China (and to those who don't), I'll be reporting on over the next few days.
