Absolutely so, but I am wondering if it need be a violent or bloody 
revolution.  

It isn't going to happen through election or legislation.  There used to be 
within living memory a time when there was a stigma of shame attached to 
dependency.  Sure, there were people who suffered because of it, willing to 
put up 
with deprivation in order to maintain face.  Somewhere along the way we 
(collectively) figured out we could just vote ourselves and easy life, vote 
ourselves 
someone else's money.  There is no longer any shame associated with it.  In 
fact people are quite aloof about it.

Maybe the revolution will come from enough people opting out, as far as they 
may, from that system and that whole mindset.   don't think it would take all 
that many of the right people managing their lives so as to not contribute to 
the systsm to bring about its end.
