And this is the problem. The fact that people want others to have all the responsibility for solving the problems, instead of working together towards that goal.
If you don't know what something is or how exactly it effects the economy, one way or the other, then how do you know that you are protesting the right thing?
And even if you are protesting the right thing, what in the world makes you think that those people who support that particular thing are the least bit interested in really changing it, especially when they know that you have no clue how to change it or what kind of changes would actually lead to helping you reach your goal?
If you don't know what the problems really are and have at least some basic understanding or ideas of what might help fix them, then it isn't very likely that you will know that any policies the government comes up with will actually help you.
Solution to this problem would be a) get some sort of leadership, preferably in the form of a committee, that has a good deal of understanding about economics, b) ensure those people actually have the group's best interests in mind, c) actually sit down and list out the problems the group wants dealt with (not necessarily every problem from every person protesting, but rather a list of the main ones, especially the economic ones), d) come up with reasonable and workable solutions to those problems (or at least possible ideas to get things headed in the right direction), and e) understand that economic changes take time and you must be willing to compromise.
