If "the lower social classes" see this as "the perfect example of why America doesn't work for them", then we are in better shape than I thought we were.
Some of the anger is due to the fact that it is so almost impossible these days to accomplish anything in America, so why even bother trying? I'm not sure I agree with the why bother trying part, but yes, it is almost impossible to accomplish anything in America. I can vouch for this personally and I see it every day in the 85006. However, here we have someone - a doctor - who has managed to make something of himself in the eyes of this highly questionable society - good for him. Look at how America treats him regardless!!! Were it not for smartphone video this incident would have been completely swept under the rug - such is how America works. The anger felt in the 85006 has a lot to do with how pointless and meaningless living in America truly is these days, and yes, there is a great deal of anger in the 85006 over this unfortunate United Airlines incident. The overall 85006 take is that this incident is yet more proof that America doesn't work for most of it's citizens/permanent residents unless they are in the 1 percent. Though there is also gratitude in the 85006 for smartphones being affordable now and trickling down to this zip codes so as to protect yourself against America and such incidents.

This is not a rich people's problem. This is a problem of an entire country really not working well for the majority of it's citizens/permanent residents, and of more and more of the country waking up to this fact. Rob
