American Revolution

So really, what are the chances of an uprising in modern day America?  Not only do you have police everywhere, along with National Guard/Reserves and regular military bases throughout the country, but anyone that dares to fight  is an automatic criminal/militia/fanatic/terrorist.  Of course that means you're judged by the very rules you're trying to overthrow... but what chance is there that someone could overthrow the country's entire rule system and start from scatch, or even have the support of the majority of the people who watch TV and see everything thtrough a filtered media that puts negative spin in order to dissuade the efforts of a revolution?  The problem is the majority of the population is content and complacent.  Revolutions occur when the majority is poor, pissed off, and tired of the current system.  It would require people to have no access to their books, television, movies, computers, video games, or anything else to distract them.  It would require wealth to diminish to nothing, houses to lose their value, and utilities and public programs to become completely ineffective.  I don't see any of this happening unless the US is assraped by the Middle East or communist Asia.   

>but the idea of a talented person using the millions he has skimmed off his business on himself instead of working and putting those millions to good use seems ot me like a waste of his talents and a major flaw in capitalism.

Just because you are an untalented fuck doesn't mean those who do have talents should start doing menial jobs just because you think they should "work hard too".

Fact is, actors work hard. If you've ever been on a set or had seen how much work musicians need to do to earn their share you would think twice about saying they're "lazy". And more importantly, only few of them become popular enough to actually make a lot of money. And is it THEIR fault that people buy all of their stuff and not others too? Blame the people that idolize actors and musicians for spending all their money to see or hear them.

>As for the office vs house example, the paper and power companies pay their dues and the office pays for it when it pays the extra cash they charge to cover tax. The same goes for the house, since the house is less of a burden on the economy it pays an astronomically lower sum.

The office is not a burden on economy at all, as >>46 pointed out. You're an idiot for even going against it.

>The only difference between the current system and my system would be that the amount they pay is more correlated to how much they actually owe, thus causing the office owner to install insulation and the home owner to join a neighbourhood watch program and encourage his kids to be home by 18:00. A small increase in efficiency throughout the economy can often saves billions of dollars in expenses.

I don't know what the fuck you are on about here. Sounds like the ramblings of an insane mind. Maybe you haven't eaten yet today?

>Am I jealous of rich people, of course I am, everyone wants to be rich, so why would I want an economic system that goes against the opportunity to become rich? The absurdity of your attack on my person denotes your intelligence and benefits my argument, sir.

Not really. It's fine if you admit that you are jealous of rich people. But then you can't take the moral high ground and claim you want them to pay more because other people need it more or they work less hard. You just want it cos you're a greedy fuck.
