More like we'll be in such debt that no amount of tax increase will save us for decades? if you think some how people are going to suddenly revolt against the system then I wouldn't hold my breath... I didn't see anyone with pitchforks and torches back during 2008, I sure don't expect anything now from this lazy and increasingly misinformed and uneducated society.
