18. Don't bet on it. It is a problem of organizing and working together

to a common goal. And I really do understand that when people are using all of their energy just on survival, there is nothing left to use. The people in poverty already scare the shit out of the middle class. The wealthy work hard at keeping them down. But there is power in their hands if they were to organize. I just don't see that happening at this time in history. My take on why it isn't happening is that they throw just enough crumbs (welfare programs, food stamps, subsidized housing, etc) to keep the poor from an uprising. This is all planned.
