We don't seem able to just stop them. We are so programmed to believe that the solar system will implode if we don't show up for that measly paycheck every week. And, instead of trying to create a communal, self-sustaining environment for ourselves so that the rich can kiss off while we hold out for their eventual demise, we keep on licking their boots.

Welcome to the United States.
