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.

If you read anything else I said you would know damn well that I don't believe that anyone can run a large corporation. As I've said before, management is an essential part of an organization. I agree that its not a position that can be done by the "average joe" or any dumb looser, but at the same time these guys aren't unbelievably rare super-men as some people seem to suggest. And to answer your questions on how much I know about business related laws and regulations, enough. I've taken courses in business and business law. Nobody is disputing how important management of that "apocalyptic shitload of money" is, but rather if those who are responsible for it are paid appropriately.

Have you ever even met someone in financial trouble? Your paragraphs are dripping with ignorance and fuzzy logic. Those who are elected may foul up things sometimes, but when they do they are held accountable. Why? Because, unlike in the private sector, government positions are at the mercy of public scrutiny. Gov employees are hired to serve the people and when they act in self interest they will likely loose their jobs. Those working in business have only a responsibility to themselves and the organization they represent. Because of this anything is fair game unless it violates federal regulations. A business rips off a few hundred people, they probably won't get more flak then a local television station at best.
