When the powers cannot and the masses don’t want to keep the status quo

According to Lenin revolutions happen only when the powers cannot and the masses don’t want to live by the old rules...Just for fun, let’s see how Lenin would explain the modern day America.

The powers – the Washington establishment(in the progressive minds) – cannot keep the status quo. They are out of money and trillions of dollars in debt.

It is fair to say that the people (the masses), left and right, don’t like the way the US government is spending their money.

The masses on the left don’t want their tax-dollars to kill babies in Afghanistan and the masses on the right don’t want their tax-dollars to kill babies in America.

The left doesn’t want to pay for caterpillars torturing prisoners in Gitmo and the right is sick of being tortured by bureaucrats creating red tape on every step.

The left thinks the rich are not paying enough; the right believes we can avoid tax-hikes if we stop giving refunds to people that did not send any funds in.

The folks want green clean planet, but don’t want their money to be wasted on photographing ants in Africa, no matter how photogenic the insects can be.

The masses are pissed off. The folks have all different reasons, but they are united in the perception that the Feds are screwing them.

In 2008 the masses on the left went on rallies by tens of thousands, fought hard in primaries to bring change. The government is still out of money and is even deeper in debt.

In 2010 the masses on the right will try to bring change. They have tea parties and kicked some butt of establishment politicians addicted to power. Will the midterm elections bring change?

Did they mention that Washington is also full of dictating Czars?
