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.   

The govenment isn't supposed to be self reliant.  If the govenment were selfreliant it would simply be too powerful and do whatever the fuck it pleased.  However how do you intend to keep a corporation constanly thinking about the public good?  I mean do you think about the public good with every action you take?  Most of the things a corporation can do to really hurt society are already illegal.  insider trading, embezeling, monopolizing the market, and many other things that fuck over all the investors and society as a whole are illegal.  True, a corporation is publicly owned and therefore be more publicly responsible than a private business.  however that doesn't overshadow the fact that it is still a business.  and the job a buisness is to look out for it's interests, mainly being profit.  there is a conflict here that with a lot of gray area inbetween.  However i do not believe that they are less accountable as they are public companies, and can suffer greatly for their immage.  I mean people don't think walmart is accounatble for the unfair things it does, but you still fucking shop there, i still fucking shop there, many people still fucking shop there.  what we have decided is that the ends of getting our stuff cheap justifies the means of their emplyee abuse.  That is something to be blamed on society as a whole, not on walmart for being there to facilitate our justification.  although they certainly aren't without resposibility.
      I don't believe all control over to the govenment for them.  For instance we need a public highway and street system.  we have simply developed past the point where we can function without it.  Now the government obviously owns the roads.  By the your logic of getting rid of the government dependence on the private sector they would then buy the companies that make the roads(the government usually but not always hires out work crews).  it would then want to buy the various material providors of the material for road construction(asfault, concreet, quaries, exc.), it would then buy the shipping companies that deal with getting the material from the source to the construction site.  Now we would buy out the dozens of companies that make the various forms of construction equipment for roads. then the manufaturers of the trucks for the shipping companies, then the manufacturors of the various mining equipment and such for the sourse material for the roads.  Then we would need a fuel company to provide gas to all of that equipment.  and another company makes machine tools to build all that equipment so we would need to buy them as well.  then we need steel mills and various refineries to get the raw materials  to make all that equipment.
    I could go on and on with what it would have to buy until eventually the govenment owns everything.  I mean there would be miles of red tape and beurocracy covering all of these aquisitons and running them.  So much paperwork i can't comprehend it all.  thousands of people involved.  hey all that paper means the government needs to buy the supplier of that to.  and all those workers need to eat, they need a food company to feed them, then the farms that provide the food, i mean the list goes on and on.  If you wanted to sepparate government from private interest you would need to eliminate anything private and give it to the government.
