What do you think the working class will do?
- Unionize
- Elect pro-labor, pro-union politicians
- Recycle politicians, just keep voting for “the opposition” and switch every election cycle
- Elect national-populist politicians
- Elect social/religious conservatives
- Elect fiscal conservatives
- Go on strike everywhere
- Viva la revolution - get rid of the propertied capitalists and redistribute everything to the working class.
You can choose more than one.

#8 has always happened, every single time income inequality gets sufficiently extreme. It's stupid to think we've fixed that problem because we haven't.
Please love yourself.

Eventually, revolution does happen. One way or the other.

We have largely fixed the issue of poor people having miserable lives though. We've fixed it so that the poor masses have something to lose in a revolution. That's an important step.
Education is extremely important.

Not when by comparison, it's perceived that they have nothing to lose. We can still easily create that scenario.

Do USA poor people a favor, show them what poverty really looks like.
Most poor people in the USA probably look well-to-do to most poor people in the world.
They have something to lose, free health care, free obamaphos's, free money, free food, free shelter. About the only things they have to buy are cigarettes and whisky. And they can just steal those for free in California.
They have something to lose.

Exactly. Poor people in the US really have no idea what poor is.
