Are you sure? What if the middle class is doing okay AND there is large wealth inequity?
The United States doesn't exactly resemble historically tumultuous places where there is widespread abject poverty and a few wealthy nobles.
I can't think of any society where most people had A/C, cable TV, two cars, and a college education that revolted because some people had a bigger house, a bigger TV, a more expensive set of cars, and a slightly better education.
Interestingly, to the extent that there is social unrest in the United States today, it is a revolt against the would-be equalizers and the centralization of power.
