The poor in the US are not going to college. They're riding a decrepit bike to their job where they do heavy physical labor for 10-12 hours. then riding home. Eating what prepared food they can ingest before they fall asleep on their plate. A shower generally follows right after work, since they're generally stinky and filthy from the work. If they get any college classes in, it's night classes which are as much a struggle to stay awake as one to get grades. The night class curriculum is generally less thorough than the daytime one, but accelerated so they're learning less stuff, but with a heavier workload. They're wirey and can lift their own bodyweight with ease, after all they do it or close to it all day. They're angry at a deep level, but are not sure why so they supress it.

I speak from personal experience. I try to know what I'm talking about.

This huge sector of the US populace will be the motive force in the coming Revolution. What can I say? Arm up!
