    The French were starving to death in the streets in 1789. In the US, the average poor person is exponentially more likely to suffer from obesity, than to die from lack of food.

    I wouldn’t hold my breath for the American people to revolt like that–things are simply not nearly as bad in the US now as they were in France then, and it’s ignorant to equivocate them like this.

      If I may suggest. Work and live in a 1st World EU country and one will quickly realize how far behind the USA is and what should be fixed. Crime and violence will decrease too.
