Whilst, obviously, people in countries like ours are not treated "as badly" by our government as many places in the world, I'm not naive enough to believe for one second that our governments wouldn't absolutely love to treat our "have nots" in exactly that way. By "have nots" I mean normal, working class and Middle class working people by the way - not underclass / the unemployed / benefits claimants.

Those in power (anywhere) perform a balancing act to get away with as much as they feel that they CAN get away with without causing too much social unrest. If we stop complaining about the "little things", they'll simply push a little harder.

aint that the truth
