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 i idolize any places economic system it is Hong Kong.  Best free market system known to man.  Second is that those European nations are doing far from well.  France and Germany are actually outsourcing much of their skilled manufactuing labor to the US where it is cheaper.  the extreemly high minimum wage is on the verge of breaking their economy in the next decade.  The businesses just can't afford to do it.  Not to mention they pay 70% taxes so they can't not have that income because the government takes almost all of it.

          I never said rich and famous people were rich and famous because of being genetially our betters.  In fact I called that a outdated Victorain Philosophy.  The rich and famous are rich and famous because they are rich and famous.  There are many rich actors, singers, etc. that I think are stupid, genetically inferior to just anybody flipping burgers, and still rich and famous.  They have every right to become rich and famous.  It is a right that comes from living in a society that allows advancement at all, is that they get to become that.  I don't like them, and I don't want to hear from them, but I don't argue with their right to be that way.  Once again people are paid by what they do and how it is desired.  If the Biologist wanted to make more than he should have went to business school.  A few less biologistw would decrease the supply making the demand proprotianally greater, which would make them able to demand higher pay.  By your logic of corporations if i am reading it right is that whatever they get in from the public they should give back.  In other words they shouldn't be allowed to be a real business and make a profit, they should have to give all income back to the community.  Tell me if I am reading that wrong.  And I don't understand your "no tax breaks" philosophy. do you mean only for corporations or for anybody.  Corporations don't get any taxbreak another person or business can't, they just get more for spending that much more money and having that many more expenses.  And what exact flaw with the system did i defend, I am attacking the flaws of the socailsit system that you seem to be blind to and advocating a return to a not perfect but more funcional and fair capitalistic system.  Explain how I am doing what you accuse and you aren't in defending your system.  I already said that Corporations shouldn't be allowed political contributions to interest groups, parties, or politicans, and the same for labor unions and that the donations should only come from private areas.  Not only do Corporations have tax, they get whats called "double taxation" this means the corporation gets taxed on it's income, then the stockholder gets taxed on his or her dividend share. from the corporation
