It's a recipe for disaster splitting classes like it is.
Nobody wants to live in a country that it will create - poverty will sky rocket, homeless rate will accelerate, crime rates will accelerate, people will go to the streets in protest. It's really a very scary picture for anyone but i can't see it playing out any differently if the poor or soon to be are squeezed like this it will only lead to civil unrest.
Water cannons on the streets ? ?
It might not be the case of just seeing these uprisings overseas on the news anymore.
