As Wolf said, beer and ciruses are too plentiful, but if it *did* get a lot worse, I wonder if our military would enforce the will of the government at all...

Our soldiers, cops and FBI agents are Americans first and foremost, and therefore subject to the same desire for wealth and comfort as the rest of us. Take that away, and perhaps they'd desert in droves, leaving no one to force the rest of the peons to do anything but fend for themselves.

In the end, it is likely that whoever ended up with the most guns and guys would be the king/president/CEO/whatever.
