Do the politicians that govern and make laws create such a circumstance, is violent revolution justified as it's happening in other countries, is it time to ask them to step down because big banks and businesses have bought off the law and the politicians?
According to one of our greatest presidents, Thomas Jefferson, it is. Jefferson was the greatest champion of the common man and their relationship to government. To paraphrase one of his thoughts: Government exists for the governed, not for those who govern. Woe be to any government which seeks to preserve itself for its own sake. To Jefferson, elected officials were servants of the people, and when the people determine that the actions of those servants clearly defy their will, they have the right to overthrow them by whatever means they deem necessary, even to the point of violent revolution. So, don't think the U.S. government is safe from upheaval from within the country. It isn't! As long as there are people who adhere to the principles Jefferson espoused, the prospect for violent change in the United States will always exist.I personally believe that the American people have nearly reached their breaking point concerning the too cozy relationship which exists between our so-called "servants" and Corporate America. I am convinced that a champion of the people will emerge soon to help forge a more honest and accountable political system in America which will hold our politicos feet to the fire in their duty to do the will of the people first, and business last.
