Middle classes do not revolt and who else is going to revolt? Middle classes do not revolt so long as they retain some of the trappings of being middle class and have jobs, no matter how bad the jobs may be. Idle sons of the wealthy revolt. They have the resources and the time. Their revolts are in the opposite direction from what the middle class might want. The Rich and the poor are the totalitarians. The rich want the power. The poor want to expropriate the middle class thinking they are expropriating the Rich.

Sadly, as time goes on, you will be proven wrong.

The rich already have the power in this nation and they know it. The poor will not revolt in this country until the EBT cards stop working.

The wealthy in the US have a sweet deal; get 70% of us to pay the freight on the bottom 25%, while the 5% at the top just keep getting more and more. The fools at the bottom and top are eating the essence away from the middle 2/3rds of us and that will come back to bite them — it is simply a question of whether there will be too effective of a police state at that point to conduct a proper popular uprising.

Not true.
Revolutions generally come from the middle class. The poor are struggling to survive and don't have the time or energy. The rich are happy with the status quo.
