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.

"Is anyone such a greedy motherfucker they would disagree with this?"
Unfortunately, yes. And in a system which needs to encourage competition to maintain there will always be people who want to take things farther in order to succeed. Eventually these people make their way into government so that they make it regulate business less and rely on the private sector more. As a bonus the government becomes inefficient because of this and people don’t trust it anymore, instead saying that the gov should keep out of business and people’s lives all together.
