Forum Post: Questions: 1. So When The 1% Say "Take A Hike" (like they already are) Then What? 2. You Have Nothing To Bargain With, Why Would They Give In? They Can Just Kill Everyone If They Want To. They Have Nukes & Bio-Weapons & Crash Planes In To Buildings

So why the hell would they abdicate power when they've got it all?
The rich could not have gotten rich without the assistance of the 99%. They NEED us, and depend on us. Who buys the gas that oil companies pump, the clothes that companies sell, the food that massive agri-business farms produce, the drugs that drug companies make? Without our tacit assistance, they are dead in the water.
Lets assume for a moment that the 1% are Machiavellian in their approach to the human race and really don't care the slightest about other people. They don't have to eliminate anyone. They simply move their wealth to another country that will welcome them and support them.
Do you not think third world countries that have unemployment three, four or even five times ours wouldn't work for them at below minimum wage? Of course they will....
Because we outnumber them. Because we are a natural resource and, without us, they cannot exist. Because, regardless of how seemingly insurmountable a goal is, we strive to achieve it anyway because it's the right thing to do.
I do not think the American people are really needed anymore.
It only takes one person to push the button/lever ...
I don't buy into that old, prophetic "UN-inspired mass genocide" conspiracy theory. It would not profit the system to eliminate it's greatest natural resource. They'd be condemning themselves in the aftermath.
The system is going to fight back but I can't see a reason to justify considering that it would fight itself into the ground along with us. If I'm wrong, well... I'll see ya on the other side of oblivion. ;)
Interesting. I look forward to any replies to this.
