That kinda depends on what you consider a revolution. If we had a non-violent revolution where the people woke up, took back control of the government and the corporately owned media (which the plutocrats use to control our thoughts and keep us on their side), I'm all on board with that.
And this is really nothing new. It's been happening for as long as I know. Just look at American history; when slavery existed, the slave owners were insisting that regulations (aka freeing the slaves) would put them out of business. When we did away with child labor, they insisted that it would put a lot of businesses out of business. When basic labor laws came in like workplace safety laws, all that was heard is how detrimental it would be on business.
As far as his idea, I can actually see a benefit to it. As it is now, rich bastards are damn good at finding loopholes to avoid paying taxes and a lot of rich people actually have a net gain in taxes because of those loopholes. I'd just love to be able to eliminate the ability for a lot of them to vote, not to mention a lot of them, for the first time ever, would have an incentive to actually pay taxes.
