History has shown that inequality, whether real or perceived, is often the fuel of revolution. I think this is especially a concern when the culture is one where people believe they are entitled. Just look at the behavior of the Wisconsin liberals and unions when asked to pay only a modest share much less private sector workers. What would be the result if the 50% in the U.S. that pay no federal income taxes were suddenly forced to pay taxes? I don't fear so much a violent revolt as the emergence of a successful socialist party exploiting the perceived inequality. The wealth gap could certainly be a catalyst.
