Stop working?

It would be wonderful if the people of an entire country could band together and just go on "strike". Once Walmart, Home Depot, airports, and everything else closed down because nobody went to work, then shit would change really fast because the huge corporations would start bleeding money, and well, if no one is working, then the government gets no taxes either. Wouldn't even need to be all the people. Half would probably do the trick, as it take a certain minimum number of people to run any business. Of course, this will never happen, even though it would be the most effective way to get things changed quickly.

Those running the country have families and places where they live. There are many ways that are vastly more efficient and require much less effort and fewer people to achieve in order to bring upon change.
