If your government were extremely brutal and put down any descent, but allowed you to get rich in exchange for your silence how would you react? Would you go along with it?

Ahh, a question which everybody will answer NO (proudly stating the fact that they would heroically rebel and stand up to the foe etc..). What I would say is that no-one could answer this correctly unless they themselves were put through it. Because, like an accident or an illness, you never know how you would react. There are many many countries around the world that have such a thing, and thousands and thousands of of government followers are rich in exchange for silence but who would have said before that they wouldnt. Me? Id like to say that I would not go along with it, and that I would stand up for what is just and right in the world, however, events have not taken that path in Britain yet.

i DO NOT want anybody's elses RICHES....and certainly not the governments tax payer's RICHES....but what can we do? we keep paying it, it keeps getting more and higher and they keep getting richer off our taxes, raising our taxes, and giving our taxes to the 'unworthy'...trying to protest, states trying to take back control..we have no choice but to not be 'silent' and to keep trying to let people SEE what the gov. is doing...there are millions now who are getting rich by silence and no merit!!! they are gladly going along with the gov. ,silently and getting their share of others 'american pie' too,just like the GOVERNMENT!!!...thatsJustme....

No. I would attempt to use the leverage I'd been offered to destroy or wound the despot. Sic semper tyrannis.

our dissent/disagreement , shouldn't be against a political party/each other...it should be against GOVERNMENT as a WHOLE , not this side or that....these are exactly what keeps lining their pockets and giving them CONTROL...:)
