"more to lose" hypothesis
"more to lose" is more a relative phenomina than one of absolutes. A family with a house payment and new car that is just making the payments each month is going to be much more sensative to job loss or overtime opportunity than a similar family with a house and used car and a few dollars in the bank.

This country (and the world) is going through a period of great change, mostly fueled by feedback loops in digital technology. Many people will need to adjust to the changes whether they want to or not. I see much of the conservative movement of today to be similar to the Granger movement 100 years ago. At that time large groups of small farmers resisted the changes of the industrial revolution. They didn't stop it, they never had a chance, it was a worldwide feedback loop. I can't predict the nature of our society in the coming decades, but I'm pretty sure the clock isn't rolling back to 1950.
