There is agreement with me that a 5% Solution might be in order, but for only a specific 5%.

The thesis for the alternative 5% Solution starts on this problem basis*: the 5% running this country are doing so through the “State” via the Federal Reserve System banks. Some of these banking 5%'ers are named Rothschild, Warburg, Israel Moses Seif, Goldman Sachs, and so on.  A 1920's-era document/book, Our Enemy the State,  additionally suggests the idea and literal control of the individual permeates society as The State and those controls are directed by a compliant population and politics through the government.  At best this control was granted to The State by a fearful public content to have behind-the-scenes manipulation of markets to keep an even social keel. At worst, the public does not know of it at all. This “State” supplanted a founding American character and spirit of “rugged individualism" with government being directed therefrom and we have become dependent on this “nanny” state, to our very great detriment; now there are no “adults".  Most important, the cure for this problem is anything but putting more money and power in the hands of the 5% (bankers) through massive government-administered social programs. A different (Libertarian?) 5% Solution would be gutting the banks, its system and tax collection, and letting money stay with people who would then have enough for all their needs and keeping an army. Ron Paul's proposed `Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act' is a current step in that direction.

Let's start with one question. In the 1700's, when driven by the Calvinist notion of Manifest Destiny (God's idea of Social Darwinism), “rugged individuals” terrorized their way across indigenous America's land. Today, that rugged cultures' ancestors are asking “laissez faire” (a French term with no direct English translation) be restored so they are completely free to become the 5% rulers --without restriction-- and our only defense against their tyranny would be our 2nd amendment guns?

How, exactly, would that keep America from being run by the new (Libertarian) wealthiest 5%??
