I also think due to the media, politics, internet even language now most realize we are a much more diverse, divided country than ever as not too long ago it was more simplistic rich or poor and white or black.. Of course the Immigration Act of 1965 was a huge factor too.. Am quite familiar with the former Yugoslavia well at least the Croatian part. They were divided along ethnicity and religion were far different people than the Bosnians or Serbians but still the differences compared to this country were quite small in comparison.. Also compare who were the well off bankers and shopkeepers in Germany before the rise of Hitler that got so many people angry and mobilized and compare what group has concentrated economic power in this country even after the initial financial crisis then also look at our military more dominant than ever even though we are now broke comparable to what life was after Hitler took control.. Yeah the ping pong balls going in all sorts of directions with little in sync even the politics at least to me.. Think about it how as the small town rural white guy bought into supporting no modest tax increase for the likes of Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Steve Speilberg, Oprah Winfrey or Lebron James while his safety net to support his poor health and unstable financial situation is slowly evaporating and debased?...Bernanke is in a no win situation with most though I think he is our one true hero keeping us from catastrophe so far and he might have to pull another rabbit out of the hat in a few weeks.
