Someone said to me not so long ago, that the reason why more Americans aren't outraged is because they are employed. It sounded silly, but basically the theory - and American leaders will attest to this - is that if you keep unemployment low enough, the people will generally be happy ... and thus, complain less.
So ******* you are pretty much correct, but it's not because they have a McDs on every corner, but because most citizens are too wrapped up in their own lives to care. Right now, who is going to raise hell when you've got bigger personal issues like your mortgage, gas prices, health care premiums, saving for the kid's college, etc.
Now if the unemployment rate starts to rise dramatically, then maybe things will get interesting...
