Thats all well and good... (none / 0)
Until the situation gets so desperate that the vast majority of the underprivileged decide that whatever social contract they are the involuntary party to really isnt doing them any good and they decide to dispence with the intricacies of fine print and decide to submit their revisions in a bold font.
I guess we leave it up to the wealthy as to how far they wish to stretch the good will of the proletariat?
It may not be much longer before the wage earners suddenly start to wonder just what benefit the current patricians are actually providing them. Employment certainly isnt one of them.

What vast majority? (none / 0)

The rich control the military.  The vast majority of people will be set upon one another long before they go after the rich. 

Several recent controversies, the mosque in NY being one, were paid and financed by Fox News.  Looks like they are making the news now, not just reporting it with the goal of setting people against one another.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

Atlas Shrugged (none / 0)
is a self fullfilling prophecy that leads to revolution. The outcome of that revolution no one knows. But more than likely it will just be another in the continuing cycle of Animal Farm.

what a revolution will actually look like in an information age.
I really must get around to reading some Ayn Rand. If only to get some clue about how that mindset works.

*Sigh* (none / 0)
Yup, unfortunately, while labour is so divided and so over supplied that is a very real option for a$shole objectivists.
Education to solve the oversupply, collective bargaining to cure the division.
Sounds so deceptively simple to solve.
