In the olden days when the top 1% got a quarter of output and 10% owned everything, they used to chop people's heads off because people were so pissed. Ethically (morally), it would be preferable to have mass street demonstrations (instead) but the public is too stupid to turn out in force. The bottom line is so long as iphones and all the other toys are still available, the establishment has nothing to worry about...the populace will REMAIN almost totally pacified and the fleecing and theft will continue unabated.

Your idea is a good one but it presumes a circumstance (intelligence) in the population that in fact does not exist. We know that because AT PRESENT even with 1% of the households now walking away with a quarter of the output there is essentially ZERO opposition. The reason there is essentially zero opposition is because people are just too stupid to have even simple awareness of their surroundings. I mean if we don't ALREADY have daily rioting with 1% walking off with a quarter of output what will it take? 1% walking off with half? My point is get real: people are stupid and you can't change the course of EVOLUTION. And, the capitalists know people are stupid - Trump said so himself, dramatically and clearly: he LOVES the uneducated, can't get enough of them - and so the capitalist bloodsuckers are laughing all the way to the bank while reading DU.

What a comedy...a nation of 330 million morons. If there are demonstrations, I'll show up, but I'm not holding my breath.
