The way I see it yes.  Even then there would be revolution to bring back capitalism.  Capitalism is what built this nation and the sense of making yourself better--the American Dream.  Even Obama's socialistic tendencies will not scape away what is ingrained in our hearts and mines from generations before us.  USA =/= USSR.

 

i wasnt aware that self improvment was only about money?

 

It is not only about money.  It is about pulling yourself up in self confidence and not relying on the dear comrades who are forced to always lend you a hand.  Socialism always wears itself out in a nation in a few generations because there is no real room for advancement. 

 

OT: I believe this drop is due to the AIG fiasco.  The financial sector is just a mess now and I don't see an improvement until Q1 2010 at the earliest.
