Depends upon who "we're" (or we are) are.

Yes, the concentration of wealth is smaller in this country than some time ago. But those who would revolt in any other country at any other time, are far too complacent and satisfied with their material goods to care much to revolt in this country. Those who have no material goods are usually very poor (like the poor in New Orleans) and have very few voices, lest their own voice, in their favor.

In short, we're too dumbed down to have a revolt in this country. Bankruptcy and disenfranchisement will occur long before lighted torches are raised.
