“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
― John Steinbeck
Which is why we must always keep the road open to the middle class. If the poor themselves as able to rise, they have hope and they will work hard. But eliminate even that slender hope, and they will despair and become desperate. Remember, desperate people do desperate things.
