But, Pan, despite the recession, the mortgage crisis, and the value of the ultra rich, America remains one of the top nations in terms of standard of living. Once things turn around, it will be business as usual—which I agree isn't the life of Pollyanna, but it isn't nearly as bad as most of the world. I'm guessing the average poverty rate is less than 15%—compare that to other nations, whose standards might not even be as high.
The median income in the U.S. is probably still higher than it is here in Canada. I don't see many seething people around here.
I understand the rich are getting richer, but unless the government is completely ignoring the poor ("socialist" Obama surely wouldn't, would he?), why would economics be the linchpin for revolution? America is doing quite a bit better than other non-revolutionary states.
And you would kill for this? Kill your own countrymen?

Okay, you know this...I know this (now)....but what about his viewers? And do they even care? They're just after his "goods." They eat it right up, don't they?
