They were desperate, but they didn't carry out mass looting, rioting, and burn their neignbours' homes down.
There's no reports Woolworth's was ransacked, with people running out with armfuls of the must have goods of the 1930's.
You're starting to sound idiotic now, as well as morally bankrupt.
If you can't see there's been a massive change in our collective psyche, you're dafter than I thought.
(Or more likely can't see it...because you think exactly like many other self-first people.)

Of course I know there's a massive difference since the late days of the real depression and I would not attempt to compare these times with the late 20's.. but I reckon you are trying to enlighten the wrong bloke .. tell all this to the tory supporters on here.
