"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. As long as the poor see themselves as able to rise, they have hope and they will work hard. Take away even that slender hope and they will become desperate. Remember that desperate people do desperate things.
