Do you know how many people are unemployed or underemployed nowadays? Do you know how many people are getting foreclosed on? Thrown out of their own fucking houses for crying out loud. Those are people who don't have any of that stuff anymore and if they do they don't have anything to plug it into.

A suddenly impoverished people who were accustomed to a comfortable middle class lifestyle can make for a dangerously angry populace.
More dangerous even than those who've never tasted prosperity.
Kind of like what happened in Germany in the 20's and 30's.
