Corporate America and the upper class. Thats all I hear when I turn on the news. "Greedy corporate America is runining our country!"

Over the many years, all major civilizations have had thier fair share of troubles, and the people need someone to blame. So instead of taking responsibility, the party incharge blames a third, unrelated party. The most noticable scapegoat in recent history is obviously the Jews being blamed by the Nazi Propaganda.

Since the American economy is currently having trouble and current wealthy lifestyles are in jeopardy, who will be our scapegoat for this current trouble?

Bush. I think that covers it pretty thoroughly.
It's really easy to blame him, after all, being an awful public speaker.

Second.

Heavy Metal
Actinides

But actinides are heavy metals. And what did they ever do to you?

Everyone will blame the banking system for the current financial crisis.
Failing that, everyone will go back to their favourite punching-bag America.

No mention of Muslims? Have we forgotten already the cries of "zomg Muslime!" when Obama was elected? Does Cronulla ring no Australian bell?

I think that Muslims are becoming the Jews of the 21st Century. Of course, the scapegoating won't be state-sponsored, but I'd be surprised if I didn't see some sort of Muslimwatch.com over the next few years.

They don't have one already? I really think that they probably do. That's just the kind of world we live in. Also MY generation isn't responsible for this mess, my PARENT's generation is. MY generation hasn't fucked up the world yet.

This generation's scapegoat seems to be 'Everyone Else', but it was started back in the 80's. People just don't seem to want to take responsibility for their actions, not when there's a cheap lawyer that will do it and promise you 100% of the settlement.

Big business?

Probably Muslims and asylum seekers. God fordbid, Muslim asylum seekers. They seem to be the first two the Daily Mail shouts about.
