I suspect less than 30% of the population has the cajones to stand up and fight back. The majority will just take it.
Only about 30% supported the Revolution back in the late 18th century. I’ll stand with 30% of us today.
If 15% of the population of this nation ever decides to hoist the black flag and start slitting throats then EVERYONE in this nation will have a HUGE and immediate problem that they'll not be able to ignore..
I would suggest a different scenario. When redistribution hits full-throttle...someone will stand up and simply say....OK, so we got the money....let’s just write the tax refund check out and give each guy who makes less than $30k a year a full-refund check for $8,000 (just my rough number guess). Simple...easy....and takes a minute to engage the IRS program.
But then the middle guys will stand up and say....Oh, well....we need these programs and these 100,000 middle-guys to help make the programs occur.
At that point, the public will stand there and realize the whole gimmick. It’s not about the individual getting the redistribution. IT NEVER WAS. It’s about someone in the middle acting as the controller, and only supporting their programs for their people.
It’s kinda like the fake charity foundations that exist now....five million gets taken in....two million go toward operational costs...one million toward special fees and handling, and in the end, only forty-percent of the five million goes toward real help. That’s all the government is supporting....fake help.
I’ll even cite the best example. DC has a policy of distribution of city revenue for charity foundations supporting public help (not city parks, but actual private/public foundations). So a city council member starts a foundation for softball for the lesser of DC’s society (kids in southeast). It was around $700,000 to be sent onto this guy’s foundation. Almost ALL of the funds go to the guy in the end....spent on an upscale motorcycle, golf clubs, resort golf club fees, and weekend trips to golf. It took almost two years for the story to unravel, and the city council guy had to resign, and go off for federal time. There’s a fine assigned by the court....as far as I know....he has yet to pay more than a quarter of the fine, and locals say he’ll never come up with the rest. Imagine $700,000 in any local softball league for kids in your local town? That’s covered all the balls, bats and gloves for ten years, for two thousand kids.
Redistribution? It’s simply a funnel built into the system to siphon off privates for middle-guys. Nothing more. If we really cared, we’d just write checks via IRS, and for some reason....they just don’t like that idea.
