(I'd like to apologize if there is already a thread like this. It is something I just got to thinking about today and wanted to share it.)
Okay so if you look at society in America today who do you see in charge?
I see the Government.
But who is really in charge? Who is the one who everyone else is truly dependent on?
It's the people. It's you and it's me, your brother your sister, aunt, uncle, mother and father we are the ones that are truly in charge.
We run the small things (small to the government that is)
We get up in the morning and go to school go to our jobs.
We run the gas stations the oil rigs the police forces
We overrun the military hell the military is full of us.
But why does the government have so much power?
Because they have one thing on their side one weapon that makes us tend to their every will.
"What is this weapon?" You ask.
I'll tell you.
It's fear, they scare us into following them and controlling us to obey what they want us to do.
It is my personal belief that the people should not fear their government, the government should fear it's people.
I will leave this open for discussion what do you guys think?

I think the fact that the government has no fear of us is the reason they do so much. They play us for idiots, they've been manipulating us for decades, and now they're starting to reap the vile fruits of their efforts. Why were they able to do this? Because most Americans have less intelligence than absolutely nothing.
How do we get government to fear us? Organize like we're doing now, protest, and civil disobedience. Perhaps a strike across America with people quitting their jobs so their labor doesn't feed the government.
If all of the non-violent means in the world don't get the government to fear us, then, and only then, will war be necessary.

Strike would be a great idea only flaw is most companies would just pack up and leave the country.

Guild Carver1 You make a good point. There was a tea party rally about a half hour from my house but did not get to go :/ to much home stuff to do.
Strike would be a great idea only flaw is most companies would just pack up and leave the country. Point behind the strike would be to drastically reduce the government's income. People with no money don't shop, and not only will individual tax income drop off a cliff, so would corporate tax, along with any commerce and/or industry in the United states, creating a massive crisis.
