Many revolutions have happened in the past precisely when the ruling
elite class went too far in owning the wealth of a nation. When the
gap between the rich and the rest became too big and the government
was deaf because the ruling elite also IS the government, revolution
was the only option left for social justice. Some revolutions like the
French Revolution were violent and bloodbath. But a some have happened
by citizens forcing change within the system. A violent revolution in
the United States must not be an option, but when desperate, people
don't listen to reason. When desperate any option is precisely that,
an option. There is real danger of social unrest created by this
wealth inequity we are experiencing. I consider this wealth inequity a
THREAT TO THE SECURITY AND STABILITY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
and it should be acknowledged as that by the President and Congress
and take urgent action to address it. The bad news is that it may be
too late for people to hope action from the President and Congress, as
it appears the people representing these institutions are not only too
deep into the pockets of this ruling elite class, but many of them are
actually members of the ruling elite class. The ONLY OPTION then left
to The People is to force change (within the system I hope) by
electing only officers committed to social justice and to close this
gap in wealth ownership. If no one takes action, expect then social
and political unrest on the streets of the United States. This means
that electing a new slate of cleaner politicians unlinked as much as
possible from corporate influence has become a civic duty for all
Americans who want to solve this inequity problem without resorting to
violence. A class war is inevitable. The question is if it will be a
violent war, or a "civic war" with citizens forcing change within the
system. I hope for the latter and not the former.
