Look at the history of countries such as Cuba, Soviet Union, France, China, Mongolia and you will have some sort of class struggle in their past's. A revolt of some kind took place against classes that are higher than the respective revoltees.

Will this ever become a problem in the United States?

I will post my opinion after some people post.

well if a reason comes up of course. all those countries had major problems and good reasons 4 a revolt 2 occur. America was built by the people 4 the people. but in some areas r now secret 2 the public for our safety. if there is a revolt it will most likely be small or not a problem 4 the CIA, NSA, FBI, or other secret gov organizations 2 stop before any real dmg occurs. but i highly doubt a reason will occur because of the way our gov is structured wit 3 branches keeping corruption and overpower of any branch nearly useless unless u control all 3 branches. before the people hav 2 rise and fight the gov iitself will fight first.

i highly doubt a revolt in the united states. in the case of cuba, china and USSR, communism appealed to the lower classes. i think that the US is too economically stable for a revolt to occur

and whoever stated life was fair? ur point only proves that the "trickling down of money" idea that bush has wont work for shit and it wont.
and if u havnt realized they rnt oppressed to the point that they dont hav any decisions. unlike the other countries where the government owned all that they see.
and the other half of ur point was that people should revolt against the rich class. and how does that point out to the government itself? if they do that the government wont fall rock bottom and we wont need a new system.
we did hav a revolt against the government before because of taxes. but we hav alil thing called THE AMERICAN ARMY. unlike the rest of the countries that fell they were not democratic, they did not hav the most powerful army, FBI, CIA, etc... so u want to start a revolt u better get a large majority of the nation because anythin else wont do shit.

"20% of the US population holds 70% of the nation's wealth... that leaves 30% of the nation's wealth to 80% of the population. Why don't you try telling me that is fair..."
the sad part is i am apart of that 80% of that pop like most people in jsl.com but the another sad point is we live better then most nations around the world. im not sayin its fair but heck we got pretty good lives and no reason to complain.

the american population has become too complacent with their current economic status and thereof too content with the idea of rugged individualism as a practical solution to every economic status to ever try to imbue a revolt of any kind. They do not care, because they feel like they could change their economic status if they tried hard enough. That is why there are no class struggles, not because of who holds the most wealth or whatever is present statistically in the status quo of america.
