i persanally think that somthing that you are missing is that the working class in general is not unhappy and a people that are not unhappy are not going to throw the system out the window because it invites chaios and that would mean that they are not going to be happy in essence to risky
you also say that we are all immegrants from some place which is true but a part of the past when i go to europe i am looked at as a dirty American (France

) not as guy that used to be from that country and i can say that about almost any eurpean country because i have leaniage from 16 of them
America has its own people now and we like having the oppertunity to make more money than we could ever imagine (although it is a small one) and we are risk takers socialism seems like the easy and safe way out and that is just not american
