The thing about autocrats...
"The time for negotiations is over." -- Rahm Emanuel
A few minutes later, in front of City Hall, janitors, lunch ladies, teachers, parents, clergy and union officials interlocked arms and sat down in neat rows in the northbound lanes of LaSalle Street. "Save our schools," they chanted. -- WBEZ
Shades of Hosni Mubarak and Dick Cheney.
The one thing autocrats and political bosses world-wide have in common -- they don't give a rat's ass about what the 99% think. Their power comes from a tiny reactionary base of support from corporate billionaires and they have no tolerance for popular dissent, either from inside or outside their own narrow political machines.
