Boy you have said a mouth full!
But haven't you guessed yet that people are being brainwashed by this stuff called Reality TV? They are all waiting their chance to fight someone for a star or starlet or be the next fake millionaire that gets the beautiful girl.
I really think Americans will have to hit rock bottom, like addicted people do, before anything will happen.
Well, I absolutely agree with your premiss that the billionaires are out to take down the middle class and it would be a big mistake for working people to under estimate their ability to do so, especially in light of the "Citizens United" supreme court decision.
If you had been watching the MSM news outlets during the last year, you would know that they, (billionaires) have blinded the masses to their scheme by getting sources like Fox News, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to spew their fear mongering propaganda at every opportunity to anyone who would listen.

And btw.....quit watching corporate news....TURN IT OFF. Don't let it cloud your judgement. I haven't watched a single minute of Fox News, MSNBC, or CNN in the last year after being nothing but a worried news pig because of having a kid in the middle of the economic meltdown.
It's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Well I was hoping that with the betrayal of president Obama that the left-right paradigm would fade. But with this wisconsin thing it seems people are going deeper into the paradigm.

You've got that right. Better still, lets just walk away from the TV altogether, and start hanging out with one another again. That right there would change the country in a relatively short period of time.
A lot of what is happening to us is facilitated by the fact that we are isolated from one another.
Actually, it looks like you're the one stuck in the "paradigm." What "the people" are doing is waking up to the reality that the ultra wealthy have been screwing them to the wall for years and it's time for working people to demand their fundamental human right to organize and negotiate for their fair share of the fruits of their labor.
