Did you ever think about why people just won't revolt just by seeing all the banker bailouts, the expansion of homeland security, body scanners on airports and the huge number of unemployed, mortgage crisis, debt, dissatisfaction with the government etc?


I'll tell you why

1. Most people don't give a damn. That's No 1. They would only start to give a damn if you unplug their TVs or get so poor that won't be able to buy food and the free-food soup kitchens wouldn't give them free food.

2. Anyone who has a job, 60% works for the government. Others who work for a corporation, is still in chain linked to the government one way or another. Workers won't riot or risk loosing their jobs, higher up admins won't because they know who they work for. They will not bite the hand that feeds them.

3. Unemployed get their welfare or unemployment handout from the government, see No 2. reason why not.

4. Fear. Most people fear the government. Seeing the riot police squads and intimidation going on with the tasers and police brutality, they are scared sh1tless.

And lastly but not least of course: any American with a brain can figure out that they have been allowing the government to be what it is all this time by not voting and not participating in the government.

So why revolt against what you helped make by your apathy?

Too many people fear the law and the court system.

We need a revolt, a powerful one!!
