There can never be a drastic change in our way of government without drastic measures and the shedding of blood. The people in our country are too timid to revolt and change the way things are now so it will stay the same. The idea of taking someones fortune away from them and distributing to the masses has some appeal to me as I am below the poverty level and would benefit from it, but the thought of forcefully taking it from people who have it sticks in my craw. I may be poor right now but there is still hope that I may be able to do something to change my situation in the future. If we take the wealth of the rich away from them and share it with all then the hope is destroyed. If all are equal in everything then where would be the desire to improve oneself. If we all have the same amount of money then where would be the desire to work and what would we be working towards. As envious as I am of the wealth of the rich, I still do not want to take it from them. I know how I would react if I were rich and someone tried to take it from me. Were that to happen there would be blood shed and with the aversion of the American people to blood shed I really don't think it could happen. Remember in order for a revolt to work it will require many people to shed their blood for it and it would not just be the rich who shed it. Our government and way of life may not be perfect but it is better than any other in the world today.
