I don't believe that the special interests in this oligarchy/plutocracy will let go so easily

And don't forget their supporters in the form of the American Takers, eager for an Obama government to steal from the producers and give to them.

We may get rid of their political leaders, but the zombies remain among us.

You’ll probably see agreement in the comment that I was writing at the same time, right after yours. :-) Sadly, I believe that it’s time for all good Americans to toughen up enough to practice the austerity of our ancestors. Choke the revenues of the “zombies,” perhaps? The various levels of government are already running low. Don’t buy much except for the tools of self-sufficiency while pushing the government to go ahead and spend—in other words, a general slowdown on our part and intensifying debt crunch for the zombies.

Most of the zombies now are paid either directly or indirectly by the government. They’ve had money and time to be politically involved so far. With their personal incomes cut, those zombies won’t have the money, time or strength for politics. ...looks like it’s going to happen anyway.

Oh, there’s plenty of work to do for ourselves and no reason to continue struggling solely as slaves for those zombies (nearly the only ones on the highways now during holidays). ...just make enough from them to survive and become more self-sufficient and productive.

Even some of the younger liberals around me aren’t so liberal in every way any more. They’re not happy with their elected Democrat politicians. Disgusted with rental lives, some of them are stocked up on food and have travel trailers on their get-out-of-Dodge lots. They’re sticking closer with their girlfriends/boyfriends/wives/husbands.

Due to what they’ve learned about false environmentalists killing potential competition, their greenie attitudes have turned more toward survivalism. They’re ready to build, when the Ponzi schemes end. And as a group, the young men (mostly twenties and thirties) among them are picking up all kinds of technical/mechanical experience from working cheap odd jobs during the recent building-for-debt scheme.

To the zombies, having a neighbor who makes steel castings as a hobby, for example, is a nightmare that they haven’t regulated against, yet (unless he sells the castings before prime time). ...the “arrogant male,” “Neanderthal.” To most of the rest of us, though, it will be a salvation.
