I share your fear that civil unrest is near, perhaps nearer than 10-15 years away, as anger about inequality is rising rapidly. Fixing the tax loop holes, raising minimum wage nation-wide to between 12-15 dollars, and adopting a tax system similar to the one used by France would go a long way towards generating equality in as little as 5 years. But that won't happen under the current regime.
