Clearly, you will still be able to feed your family, even if Obama et. al. get everything they want. You knew that was never in question. We were revolting against a violation of our principles. And I think we can all agree that the tea party did not exactly have laser political focus when we started attending rallies, it was quite enigmatic.

Look, I hate to spring your own trap on you, I really do. It's just difficult to accept a two item list of reasons for political revolt when your yourself immediately created a 3rd upon query. Isn't that proof that it isn't as simple as just those two?
The point is that people do not revolt over enigmatic concepts like "democracy", they revolt over matters that are simple and easily defined.

I have given support for my point of view - it is not about me.

You and your little chart know better than what is the hearts and minds of the people on the streets of Cairo.
You do not get it and I am not ignoring anything. There is complexity and there is "complexity". E=MC2 is complex, but simple. Real intellect is about being able to simplify concepts and issues that on the surface appear "complex" but are not. This philosophical bit of information appears to be beyond comprehension here. So, you can help Egyptian's with the chant:
