Its already pretty damn desperate, but by fighting to try and make it better maybe you can prove that socialism isn't so scary and maybe the leftists are right, the poor shouldn't be punished for being poor and everything is fucked up.

And yet with the state of the way things are, you'd think there'd already be a violent and bloody revolution. So... technically, it's STILL not bad enough for the public as a whole to do what's actually the right thing to do.
Now we can also debate the actions of Ozymandias in Watchmen, but that may trivialize the conversation at hand.
Now, the main problem is either human indifference on a wide scale or those that are abusing the people are REALLY that efficient. I'm willing to bet it's the former than the latter and it's STILL not bad enough to get an indifferent and docile America to really do anything about it.
