To me, it's all about driving down wages and maximizing profits.....as for the miserable people, *if* (and I'm not saying this IS the case) you control the government(s), you control the military.  Once you do that, it doesn't matter how unhappy, or how much rage the people have.....they don't stand a chance.

There's a thought school out there that believes this is what gun control is all about.....squashing any chance of such a revolt.  I'm not sure I buy into any of that, but a lot of this stuff makes for interesting reading, and some people in these circles do make some compelling arguments.

EDIT: what I *think* Rotobeast is alluding to, is once the populace is divided and bickering over wedge issues.....it's easier to pass legislation behind the smoke screen that is less than favorable for the common man. Flags, SSM, Bruce/Caitlyn......meanwhile, the TPA was fast tracked and there was hardly a peep.....
