It's not a privilege to operate a business in America, it's an expectation. Anyone who is not, at the very least, an S-Corp, is a total sucker. This is a republic that was built on genocide and slavery. George Washington was, as a percentage of GDP, the richest American ever. He was protecting his investments. Every corporation is, by design, a Machiavellian state where the person at the top of that pyramid is, by design, a Prince with (near) absolute power. "Employees" are, by design, interchangeable cogs, like the machines on the factory floor. Abuse them and throw them away, they have no power. They are, in absolute fact, disposable trash.

That being said, the second section of your paragraph is correct. There's a revolution coming. (actually, it has begun. it just hasn't reached the streets of the US yet. we are a little slow here) It will be as big as the agricultural revolution or the industrial revolution. Once it is done, we will either be heading toward the stars, or living in caves again. However, many or most of us won't survive it. The Princes will fight down to the last man on their payroll, to the last bullet in their inventory. The only way for you to win the fight is to understand how things really work now (which you don't seem to), and imagine an alternative system (which you are doing) and work and fight to build that system. It's not going to be easy.
