Can't the middle class (which includes me) be happy that we have what we have and don't live in a country where 99% of the people live in tin shacks while the top 1% lives on plantations and controls the army and government.
This is an important idea. In parlance, the middle class refers to a group possessed of a certain degree of affleunce. Even if they are being held back by the upper class, they largely benefit from peace and stability in society. For them, rebellion or revolution is a very bad thing. They have little to gain and everything to lose from any real degree of civil unrest.
