Societies can handle x amount of difference between the wealthy and the poor. We're nowhere near any point of revolt, regardless of what hyped up manboys on reddit and HN think. Low unemployment, high gdp per capita, high household income, high human development index rating, etc.
If anyone's revolting its the Greeks and the Spanish, not Americans. And not because of "the rich" but because the feel good socialism they can't pay for is destroying a generation of wealth, work, and prosperity.
HN/Reddit unicorns like Brazil, Russia, Finland, etc are also all underperforming:

Gee, maybe low regulatory environments, easy access to investment cash, entrepreneur culture, freedom of speech, honest elections, a real judiciary, capital protections, etc matter to an economy? Naww, keep ignoring the facts.
