The only reason why people are angry is because it's hit their pocketbooks at a rate which is impossible to ignore. Even then, most people still don't really know the flaws in our system, all they care about it that fact they are personally affected by the status quo and they want to bitch and cry about it.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but there’s a lot of revisionist history here, some of it is downright fantasy, and a disservice to all the folks I have known over the years who struggled to make ends meet, and didn’t whine and complain about all the “comforts” of this fantasy world that they didn’t have, but apparently they were supposed to feel entitled to. Either that, or you and I have lived in parallel universes…
