Discouragement has its limits

There is no doubt that people are discouraged. Some are losing jobs. Others have been struggling to find jobs with little if any success. All are suffering the loss of buying power for whatever money they have as the dollar takes a beating. City and State governments are on the verge of bankruptcy and are trying to find ways to grab whatever money these people have left. They are even beginning to tax food, an absolute necessity.

People have been discouraged and downtrodden before. They withstood an oppressive system for a very long time. They found ways to "make do" and work around the system. They worked around an oppressive tax system. They found ways around a government that no longer represented them.

Then there was a Revolution.
