"The immediate trigger for the Revolution was King Louis XVI?s attempts to solve the government?s worsening financial situation." <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_revolution">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_revolution</a>The people just got tired of living in poverty while the elite added more and more taxes to uphold their wasteful lifestyle. I think we can leave out the guillotine part, but otherwise this is where the U.S might end up in a year or two.

@bluezinc: your comment implies you are a commonplace victim of the misplaced power of a prevalent propagandized prejudice -- that deregulation can be simply defined. There are just as many forms of good deregulation as there are of bad regulation (and vice-versa). FWIW, Ron Paul supports regulating the Federal Reserve, in addition to other agencies.I support Ron Paul because he has consistently defended the wisdom of the constitutional viewpoint. The constitution will always work better than giving recourse immune, unchecked, and unregulated (as you point out) power to banksters from the Federal reserve and Secretaries of the treasury. Kill the bank and give the power back to the people."If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas JeffersonThe law has been perverted to promote malice, fear, hatred, torture, preemptive wars of aggression and gross mixture of economic socialism and fascism. There's a Ron Paul Revolution because we want 1776, not 1984. We want a republic, not a fascist state. We want our constitution and our republic back, and we are going to get it!

Interesting they stayed at a St. Regis. I've only heard about the one in New York but it's luxury enough to be featured in movies. I wonder how much the St Regis Monarch was? They're building one just south of me in Florida <a class="user" href="http://www.stregisbalharbour.com">http://www.stregisbalharbour.com</a> that looks super nice.
