Before Bush II, most these methods were used very effectively to lower gas and other prices. Of course, with the wealthy controlling the economy for the last 12 years (more than they used to be able to get by with) these proven methods are not even considered. Hell, they have gotten Americans used to the idea of being financially raped on a daily basis. They do not fear us. They own most of Congress and the other branches of government and they know they are above the law.
A Revolt by the American people is the only chance we have. They have made most of these changes gradually, so most people think "this is the way it's always been."
No it's not. Just before Bush II stole the election, these "laws" would have been answered with (at least) a prosecution. Now our government has ceded all regulatory power to the wealthy, politician owning, elites; and it is destroying our country and economy.
What are we waiting for? At this rate we will be totally unable to fight back in our ongoing class war. The war that we have seemingly already ceded to the wealthy.
We have become a nation of pathetic whiners, unable and unwilling to stand up for our rights and those of our children.
Of course, we do not stand a chance of winning an armed revolution against TPTB. Our only hope is to stage a peaceful fight against these people(?), we out number them, millions to one...
The man I thought would lead us in this revolution against TPTB has disappointed me terribly. I thought that a President Obama, would be for regular Americans. So far, to me, his policies have followed those of Bush II....
