Is another revolution in the USA probable?

Question

I am not disgruntled, just wonder if the rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer if something will spark.

Answer 1

Not only probable. Long overdue.

Answer 2

The best way to have a "revolution" would be for the middle class people of this country to for a grass roots organization and over the next few years gain enough support and money to run for state and national offices. The Democrats and Republicans both sound the same to me at this point. If the two parties don't want to listen to the majority then the majority should make a party that does listen to them. Make a party that is about issues important to the middle class instead religious issues.

Answer 3

If the constitution were changed to allow foreign born residents such as Arnold Schwarzeneger to become president would that constitute a revolution? If the richest and most influential men in the world were to secretly take over control of the government, would that constitute a revolution? If you believe that has already happened would you call that a revolution? I think a true revolution would be replacing every office holder and their advisors with people who had never made over 50K a year. I don't think that type of revolution is possible.

Answer 4

I believe the most likely revolution is a tax revolt. When the rich decide they have paid enough tax and notice that the middle and lower income classes pay little if any federal taxes, the rich will stop paying. That's when you can expect things to silently get ugly.

Answer 5

I don't think so. What are you revolting over? You must keep in mind that overthrowing the government is very illegal, also keep in mind that This President is very well liked by his Military. They will not hesitate to shoot to protect their commander in chief.
You need to look at what you're unhappy about and figure out what you can do to change it. An old saying "If you are not part of the solution, then you are the problem"

I suspect its just teenage hormones.

Answer 6

i agree with kid-- the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.how can a person living on minimum wage afford rent-elect-phone-insurance etc. now with lowlife bush-- come upon your land without a warrant or court order. tap phones and data mine your puter without just cause.i am troubled that our civil liberties are being sh@# canned and our rights being violated-- what our soldiers have died for-- bush is nothing but a pile of camel dung

Answer 7

No and I'll tell you why. There arent enough people who believe that it is thier responsibility to own weapons. Of the ones that do that legally, would never want to do anything that even remotely resembles intent to break the law.

Answer 8

No. the people screaming for one are glued to their computer screens on this site! ;-)

On the other hand, revolutions are possible every 2 or 4 years. It's called elections.

Don't like how things are going in D.C. vote in someone else...

Answer 9

Not as long as we still have TV. Until then, we Americans will stay on our obese posteriors and put up with everything.

Seriously though, it's not probable at all under the current circumstances, and I would hope things never get bad enough that it would be necessary.

Answer 10

Very Long over due, but will it happen? I seriously doubt it. "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can excercise their constitutional right of amending it, or excercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." Abraham Lincoln
