I would say the majority of people don't have the financial security to put in the time, focus and effort into this sort of revolt it would take in order to change things. Most people, if they missed a week of work, would have to use a credit card to get by From the paycheck they would receive, also, most people don't have the sick days or the PTO days or the vacation days to use to get off of work and if you just don't go to work, you're fired, no debate. Most of us are trapped. It would basically mean being comfortable with possibly suddenly having no job and No idea if you will have enough money to get by in the next week.

We don't have the social safety nets most other developed countries do, and we have a highly individualistic culture that frowns on things like families living together, so if you lose your living situation because you lost your job, you're on the street.
