The free market pays people what it thinks the contribution is worth. The taxman is on the other side of the coin to take it away.
It may appear that the times are more Conservative, but they aren't. Both parties are more liberal than JFK. One simply has to look at a line from his inaugural address Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. The hippies of the 60's are still on the entitlement page as the enter AARP.
Remember Social Security can only invest in government debt. When the cash flow of Social Security goes negative the government budge will be hit twice.
If the economics of Renewable Energy doesn't change before the baby-boomers' retirement bill collides with the energy crisis there will be no assets for any social programs!

No, America is not beyond anything. Revolution can definitely happen here again - although peaceful revolution is more likley than violent revolution, though violent revolution is still possible.
The only thing problematic about a revolution in the US is the shear number of people living here, and in such a large area (the continental US is as large in area as Western Europe). It'd be difficult to get the majority of 300 million people in such a vast space to agree on any one thing. It's possible, but not terribly likely.
So instead of revolution, what's more likely is another civil war - which would be violent. The western part of the US doesn't feel very connected to the eastern part, and really does it's own thing. But that probably wouldn't happen anytime soon.

We had a social revolution in the mid through late sixties. It wasn't fought with guns, but by the youth ( Now AARP age) changed the social out look of people. We have had social revolutions for human rights, and have gone from a very liberal country to a very conservative country and back several times.
As far as armed revolution. I don't think so.

No country is ever beyond revolution. They arrest peaceful demonstraters now at political rallies. So I am quite certain we are not far from a police state. Some people though, will blindly follow this and be told that its for our safety.

Revolution is not to be taken lightly. I used to know a Filipino man who told me that controlling a revolution is like holding onto the tail of a tiger. Everybody always thinks that THEY'LL be the one who can control the tiger, they'll be the one who won't fail, but always the tiger turns around and bites them and gets loose and goes in unexpected directions. Nobody can control it.

Well they've all got guns for exactly that reason - to have the power to rebel - give it a few decades and we might see that, America will become a big version of Armenia or something.
