123. Bobbie, I'm not putting the onus on anybody, .........
It was actually more of an observation of what I think WILL happen and when. Which was what the post you replied to was about. You asked about what may NOT happen and why and I just tried to explain when I believe the critical mass would be reached. I doubt it will happen before a larger part of the population than now is in a position where it's not worth going on anymore the way things ARE. Historically, that's the way it's always happened.

Hell, that's why I'm a believer in progressive taxation and a strong social safety net. It's much easier and more peaceful to redistribute and make sure EVERYBODY has the basics covered by using the tax structure, than by replaying the French Revolution.
