I have to laugh when people ask why there's no revolt in the U.S.

Maybe because this is what it's like to be "Poverty Stricken" in America (According to the U.S Census):

•76 percent have air conditioning.
•66 percent have more than two rooms of living space per person.
•97 percent own at least one color television.
•62 percent have either cable or satellite television.
•Almost 75 percent of households own a car (30 percent own two or more).
•73 percent own microwave ovens.
•More than 50 percent have stereos.
•33 percent have automatic dishwashers.
•99 percent have refrigerators.
•Virtually none lack running water or flushing toilets.
•46 percent own their own home, the average of which is a three bedroom house with 1.5 baths, that has a carport and porch or patio, and the average value of which is 70 percent of the median American home.

These conditions would be considered "Living like a King" to most people in the world.

Stop posting on Getbig 15-20 times a day. Be productive, and you'll have more.

What about the many immigrants who legally went to the US and built a fortune over time through hard work?

didnt say it was impossible, just the odds are very slim.  My 1st cousin Robert Rosenkranz is a fine example of that.  Got a quality education and applied it, now he's one of the most powerful billionaires in the country.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rosenkranz

Yeah, your continued talk of "anarchy" sounds like such a great thing to strive for. ::)

I'm not saying things can't be improved in the U.S. Obviously there are problems. Just look at gas prices.

But, if there's a better place with more opportunity, point it out to me.

People aren't crossing the border into Mexico, are they?

I'm eating well. Employed. And feel safe. Good luck with your revolution.

Obama didn't get my vote, and he won't again.

The only revolution I'm signing up for is what the Tea Party has been pushing. We need new leadership.

Great post, couldn't agree more.


Life for me is getting better and better each year and my family and friends are all doing good as well.   Sure things could be better but in the end we are far better off then most out there.
Wait for it....

Nope. Knoxville ain't gonna happen. Gonna go somewhere else.

 Someday all the poor people in the USA are gonna grow some balls and fight back. It'll happen. And when it does I bet the government will murder them just like what's happening in Libya right now.

 The government is terrorizing us. Threatening us. Making us walk in line. It's gotten really bad. But people have just settled with it.

Quit talking all this nonsense.

The poor people I see every day deserve to be poor due to their own actions and choices. 


I see lazy people all day long who simply want hand outs and don't want to put in a hard days work to earn a little extra and shout the same shit that you do.


As an individual the most you can do is better your life and help everyone around you and good things will come.  Asking for choas in the streets really wont help anyone. 

Wait for it....

 I'm not asking for chaos in the streets.

 I'm asking for the people to retake control of the government.

 You must be ignorant to the dynamics of governments, corporations, currency, banks, wars, etc. if you see no problems.

 Some of poor people are lazy. Lots of them just give up because they don't have a fighting chance in this system. They are angry and frustrated, but not educated about the ways of the world and don;t know where to direct their hostility. So they have a lot of misdirected hostility.

 It's not their fault. They are just products of the system. Change the system and that whole culture will end.

If they would toss in legalizing drugs and stopping the money we waste on it... Releasing the drug offenders from prison and stop the almost police state, then their position would be damn near perfect.
