Some people are getting free food, free phones, free utilities, reduced housing and soon some free college. Those getting the free stuff aren't going to overthrow anyone anytime soon.
Eventually those feed up by paying for all this free stuff will only be about 3% with the rest of the 97% getting all the free stuff. The 3% will be subject to mob rule through union or elected delegators who will determine how much and who gets the most free stuff. ]
Stop whining. You and your working class friends will benefit from making college affordable for the working classes. Whats so great about rich lazy kids not having to worry about tuition but hard working pupils from the working class who do well in school cant go to college or have to worry about massive debts which harms future employment opportunities?
We've been pushed around by our corrupt government serving their own interests and it seems to only be going downhill from here.
Is there a tipping point? Are the American people united enough to overthrow a government that becomes too oppressive (not suggesting that it's unbearable now, but could reach that point). Or, do they have our psychology in tight reins, able to steer us wherever they want?
Didn't the revolution only have 4% of the population?!
You assume that most people do not think like the OP and for, that could it not be said that your statement in reverse is a rash statement in of itself?
I know I for one, I continue to ask myself what is the tipping point and when (if ever) will the people finally stand up and revolt. Sadly the answer is when its too late and I feel we're already past that "it's too late" point.
I will say I respect the black men who have stood up to the police abuse and shot and killed those police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge (not for their horrific actions) but rather I respect them for fact that they actually did something. Same goes for Mr. Stack the guy who was abused time and time again by the IRS and he finally had enough and flew a small airplane into the IRS building in Texas.
These people are the epitome of motto "Live free or die" and they sure had the cajones to live by that motto and not just give that motto shallow empty lip service.
You do know that 98 percent of police shootings are justified right

The 3% will have to flee the country to escape a 90% taxation rate. The problem with socialism ( and giving away free stuff) is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.

Until we run out of food, Internet, and other distractions, there will be no uprising. Americans are a very dumb, easy to please people.

Orlando, Dallas and baton Rouge are the first signs that something is fundamentally in America is. Wrong. If America keeps failing it's people, letting people slip through the cracks. These very same people will cause harm to others. Government better take notice for such events and more further massacres to take place.

Who pays for it?
The 0.1% who own our politicians?
The same people who just declined to prosecute Hillary and then effectively coroneted her?
Like everything else, working Americans will foot the bill for this while the 0.1% import a sufficient number of H1-b visa tech workers to make your shiny new STEM degree essentially useless.
First things first.
Seal the border and deport the illegals so that work pays what it should.
End the H1-b visa scam used to drive down tech worker pay.
Review all of our trade deals and eliminate all that don't directly benefit US workers.
Tax the wealthy.
Put the money away where it can't be used for buying votes.
Then, we can talk about sending low-income kids to college.
Until then, we are setting ourselves up for even more exploitation.
Otherwise, the taxes will be applied to working Americans while the 0.1% find ways to avoid them.
