As was noted up above, the problem is the growing use of automation which will effectively unemploy millions of people. One has to laugh when these phony republicunts start bitching about Mexicans taking jobs. Robotics are the primary cause of job losses in manufacturing and it is spreading.
Think about what you will do when 20-25% of the population is permanently unemployed? Even the ancient Romans understood that you can't have a large mass of idle people sitting around getting angry. They devised "Bread and Circuses" to keep the problem in check and it was quite effective in controlling the city mob.
