"How about if we all break and bankrupt the system by quitting our jobs and registering for welfare, unemployment, disability, and every other give-away program that the our ridiculous government has implemented. The plunder will stop when there is nothing left to plunder.” - from post #11, “Who pays the income taxes?”

All forms of government that allows each citizen the right to vote will eventually evolve to socialism. The only thing that changes that is when the money runs out, IOW Atlas Shrugs. We are far from that point but eventually the takers will so overwhelm the givers that the system will collapse under its own weight. I am in no hurry for that to happen and the best that we can do is delay inevitable. I am sorry but the critical mass is just not there for your idea to have any chance of success. The fact is that most people are happy with their lives and give the WOD 5 minutes a year thought if they think of it at all. Pot will probably be decriminalized in a few states in the near future but there is no national desire to see anything else legalized.

If what you say is true, then I would think that the best we can do is speed up the inevitable--we owe it to our descendents.

The real problem is that 90%+ of Americans are essentially socialists, as you point out. It is unlikely that they will be converted; they will have to be replaced--by new generations.
