So it begins locally - Wisconsin public workers flood capitol to protest benefit cuts

[Live_Free_Or_Die]

The "Revolution" will not be people protesting and revolting because of government tyranny, loss of natural rights, or anything noble.

It will be lead and populated by government workers and other parasites who suddenly find that their checks not to be to their liking. They are some of the most violent and immoral people already, just give them the reason to violently protest and riot and they'll burn down a city.

How many of these Wisconsin government workers are the sole provider for their family, who's spouse has lost his/her private sector job? This is a contributor to why the number of protestors is so large. I'm simply looking at this from all angles.

Many of these people are still good hardworking Americans, I'd rather look at their situation in a more tactical and radical, point of view. How can we transform their current industries/sectors/fields into private enterprise? Since government has failed, take the purse string control out of the government's hands. Convince the State governments to sell off the sustainable private sector type businesses. Even communities could invest and be shareholders in their local hospital or janitorial business. It would truly be isolationism to sacrifice the community, while potential leaders stood by and watched or ridiculed.

Nearly every small business owner I know has lowered the wages of their employees, and the State workers should contribute to their healthcare and pensions, or be able to opt out. Of course transforming 90% of the government business, into private enterprise, would be the best goal, without government handouts.
