Why aren't there riots?
Because Americans are way too busy trying to find out how much of these trillions being spent they are going to get, thats why.
Our nations root problem is Greed. How much can I get without doing anything much for it.
There are not riots because the people who are under attack have too much too lose and are fearful if they were to go on the offensive. Those who are causing a big stir have nothing to lose.
We, for example, own considerable assets, homes, cars, boats, aircraft, and other toys, 401k plans, Keoghs, IRAs, stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. Such people are far too busy trying to keep their heads above water to revolt. What free time they have, they don't want to spend fighting. And if they were to protest, what can they do? Write letters? Vote? That's about it. We can't afford more because the state will move in, throw us in jail which deprives our families of income. Then the banks and the states seize the rest for non-payment, taxes, etc.
The noisy ones, they have nothing to lose. No homes, no assets to lose. No families to suffer deprivation. Additionally many have grown up with a sense of "entitlement." Either mummy and daddy provided everything they ever wanted, or they were on the dole since they were little children. They know no other way and cannot conceive of another way.
