If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, - we need never read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications?

-Thoreau, Walden

They need the current system in place way more than we do. They benefit greatly by this system, we don't. They may THREATEN to burn it down, but they won't. They worked too hard, and they benefit too much by it, to let it go.

Before they'll destroy the system that has made them wealthy, and will continue to make them wealthy, they'll surrender, and live to fight another day.

They'll kill MAGA before they'll kill the THEIR economy.
