For those who follow me on Facebook, you may have already heard this. It is a simple yet scary thought.
What if a revolution were to begin at the top end of society instead of the other way around. iIt would flip Marx's political-economic evolution theory on its head. The feasibility factor is of course very low as those at the higher end of society have the most to loose by bucking the status quo. Even if they are already loosing and their demise is inevitable. Like the fall of high society in Russia, China and Cuba they may have become too comfortable in their cozy little lives as well as overconfident in their power, wealth and status too notice the beast knocking at their door.
While the upper middle and lower upper classes may be some what cognizant, and a few even sound the alarm, not enough are willing to acknowledge and act to save not only themselves but the entire society, community, and country.
The revolutionary idea is so obvious that it is easily overlooked.
The idea is simply this: All business owners, the 1% and those making over $100,000 quit, close up shop, freeze all spending and request the government payback every dime they put into social security insurance and unemployment insurance plus interest.
While some may think this is the same idea that Ayn Rand proposed in Atlas Shrugged. The difference is that Ayn's version was reactionary, not revolutionary. My idea dies not wait for the end to come first and then flea to build a new society. My idea would reboot the political-economical reality in an attempt to save the American society.
