90-percent

5. 90% of Americans want this

This is simply taxation without representation. Nothing more or less.

Our government has sure become tyrannical after being absolutely corrupted by our corporate written laws favoring corporations at the expense of the bottom 99%.

History has shown that really bad stuff happens hen the wealthy and powerful completely loose their shame, integrity, honor and empathy for their fellow human being.

Our wealthy elite have depersonalized us to an extent that's rapidly trending in the direction the Nazi's took towards jewish people. Hyperbole, but it's a work in process considering what a psychopath you must be to deliberately cause so much unneeded human misery to satiate your greed and selfishness.

With modern technology, who's to say how today's French Revolution would manifest itself?

I engage people on "current events" like a modern Paul Revere screaming "THE CORPORATIONS ARE COMING AND GETTING MEDIEVAL ON OUR ASSES!"

I'm against oligarchy or plutocracy.
