What if America was united?
Could you imagine? What if.....we all cancelled our insurance policies? The industry would fold.

what if.....

...we all pulled our money out of the market? The sharks would die.

...we all voted for challengers and not incumbents. Congress might be legit again.

...we all demanded all the troops come home. The military industrial complex would die.

...we all voted for our interests and not those of corporations?

...we all took our money out of banks

Where would the rich make money if we refused to play "their" game?

What if we really did "own" our government?

1. you know - your thrid bullet is all we need
if we got rid of incumbants and elected those to congress that represent us, they would take care of the rest of your list.

These issues would get cleaned up . . . but will not happen while the lobbyists keep dumping money into the pockets of our legislators.

6. The rich really have had a revolution since the 1950s when union power
got in everywhere. They have run anti tax, anti government campaigns everywhere. And they have won & then deregulated. THE RICH ARE STILL REVOLTING (in the USA).

7. Noblesse Oblige ...
... would become a thing of the past. If all Americans unite, then no more exclusive cocktail parties at art gallery openings in Washington, DC. Who needs them really?
