1. The 1% is too ill-educated to know anything of Macchiavelli.

I The Prince, Niccolo pointed out that you have to leave the peasants at least enough crumbs to keep them from desperation, which is a sure ticket to insurrection.

Or, to quote Kris Kristofferson (via Janis Joplin), "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."

2. Maybe the Sequester will be just the ticket

to get Americans to have our own massive austerity demonstrations. History shows us that those who change things are those who feel the pain personally.
