Revolutions happen when people have nothing left to lose. We ducked a revolution during the Great Depression (although some would argue that FDR’s administration was a progressive revolution).

Revolutions rarely turn out they way they were intended. Our revolution against England is a notable exception. Most turn out to be more repressive than the government they replace. Our revolution turned out to be the exception because the people GAINED more freedom.

Most revolution are based on what they don’t want. Managing for what you don’t want takes you no where, just to another revolution.

Our Founding Fathers were amazing, A clear target of freedom and responsibility.
