This really is along the same lines:
When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
People across Europe and the U.S. have laid all of their economic woes at the feet of the rich, and of government. The only politically viable way for the economies of the West to recover is to do so without (seeming to) take benefits away from the middle/lower classes.
Most young people nowadays were born and raised with the gravy train running full steam ahead. They can't even contemplate a Great Depression where each family member has a nail and a single outfit of clothing, where food is rationed, and where people work as long as they are physically capable. Whatever solution the government comes up with cannot involve taking benefits away from them, not while there exists people who are better off. Sadly it may take a failed Revolution for the reality of our situation to hit these people, which obviously is going to make things much, much worse.
