Exactly and that is why the masses will rise up against them.
Half the nation is Republicans. They like the system as is, the only "revolution" they want is for Hillary not to be elected. Even if the poor and students turn out to elect her in hopes of freebies, the Republican control of the House and Senate will make Hillary a lame duck president like Obama.

Wealth is pretty evenly divided between the political parties.
So, with the Republican half of the country liking the system as is, and all the rich and middle class democrats probably preferring to go on enjoying life without getting shot at, who are these "masses" you keep talking about ?
The Democrat portion of the bottom 20%? The worst funded, easiest to defeat among us? "Can't overthrow the government today Joe, no money left for bullets..."
How about you Dave? I'd bet good money your household income is at least $60-$70K, and you have kids. Going to risk making them orphans? For what? A chance at higher wages? You think it might be easier to just go back to school nights and weekends for a few years and get your money that way?
People in the USA have it way too good to "rise up against the man" as you seem to think will happen.
