What we have today is a result of a top heavy system where all the power and wealth are at the top and it is squishing everyone underneath. The bottom was already flat, now the middle is starting to buckle.

The microscope of the public via the internet is much stronger nowadays.
We are able to see so much in real time now, and creating flash mob mentality in responce immediatly for all to see.

Some of them will still look down their noses because they think they got there through no fault of their own unlike the people already there who must've done something to end up that poor/destitute.
I have always found that the hardest working people are at the bottom. Living paycheck to paycheck; going to work sick/injured because they can't afford the time off; stretching to make every dollar count. You learn to become an expert at persevering but at the sacrifice of your general well being.
