No, Lynn, I do not think that TPTB will ever voluntarily change the present 
system.  Right now, just the simple math of present economics is forcing 
'some ' change.  But, the 'haves' and 'have-nots' will change very little.

But, how is a man (or woman) supporting his family supposed to affect that 
change.  Are you calling for violent revolution?  That 'would' work.  But, 
then --the unintended consequences.

I don't have any answers except that if pain is to be felt , it should be 
felt the hardest by those who have profited through cronyism and sleazy 
economic schemes -- Not-- working people.  But, the way things are right now, 
the people to feel the vast majority of the pain will only be working people. 
 

Maybe the Wall Street mavens will buy a smaller boat this year, but they will 
still be buying boats.  And maybe the company CEOs will be flying in 
chartered private planes, rather than their own private planes; but private 
plane travel, they will, nonetheless.  

Find a way to make the people who created this mess suffer, rather than just 
the working stiffs who played by the rules, and I'm all on your side..........
