If there is a revolution, and all those Americans who have less than $10,000 will be spared. will you?

Question

An exercise to prove that most yanks are poor.

Let us not confuse $35,000 pa with actual cash in the bank NOW. Get me?

Answer 1

Well I make 7,236 a year, well below the poverty level, thanks to the US government.

Answer 2

When the revolution starts, it will be the poor that rise up. Will you survive? What I mean is the wealthy have been screwing with the rest of the population for so long now, that allot of states are actually worse in some areas then third world countries.
Take Texas for instance. Texas has the most billionaires per capata. It also has the most people living below poverty per capta, the worse child mortality rate. Some poor African countries do better. Texas has the most high school drop outs per capata and the most people without any form of health care. It is though number one in state executions, and death row inmates are the least represented in the whole western world maybe more. They are quite aware that more then by any marginal means (to me one is one to many) that innocents are put to death.
Unless your talking about the military crack down in the plans for when (because of the gigantic debt and deceit spending) their is a dollar meltdown sending people rioting in the streets and the world into a panic.

Answer 3

The next civil war will be between the previous entitled & the newly entitled combined with those footing the bill. The time it will happen is when the baby-boomers' retirement bill collides with the energy crisis.

The economic colapse will take everyones wealth. Neither cash, stocks, or even Gold will be worth much.

The wealthy will not survive, because they are complacent. They main group that is trained in weapon usage is the angery poor.

Answer 4

It would be easy to get down to less than $10,000, not matter how much you have -- hire thousands of hookers and procure mile long lines of coke. So sounds like pretty much anyone with no morals would be spared, and have a good time while at it. (Or, simply hide one real wealth in Switzerland -- all the leaders of this revolution will be doing the same, they didn't become leaders by being fools).

Answer 5

Don't worry you wealthy folk in the USA.
When the revolution comes GWB will arrange special flights out of the USA at the beginning of the revolution as he did for the Saudis - Binladen family.

Answer 6

Revolution usually means war, death and destruction. you ll find that the rich survive and the common man would die, just the same as in any other revolution which has happened anywhere in the world.

Answer 7

Thats a good one. I remember not long ago the results of a poll came out that said something like 60 percent of the British used foreign objects to clean their teeth, like screwdrivers and such. So I really dont think you guys should judge.

Answer 8

And then what? We have an economy with no money or financial backing. See what it has done to African nations and Cuba? Communists have no place in America.

Answer 9

I'm a struggling college student fresh out of high school. Yeah, I'd survive.

Answer 10

You won't be able to prove that using those standards because about 50% of Americans have assets of $60,000 or more.

Answer 11

Sorry, I don't want any French starting a revolution here. Go back to your homeland please, or at least stop enciting the poor with hatred. Encite them with love.
