From the article: “When we become angry, we feel like we’re taking control, like we’re getting power over something.”

Around 75% of my paycheck is taken up by Health Insurance, Rent, Taxes, Automobile, and extraneous required fees. That's just to subsist in modern society on a middle class level.

I'm make WELL above the national average.

I can only imagine how difficult it is working in a small town with limited opportunities and a family and making at or below the national average income.

Most modern people are completely powerless with no chance at a better life.

It's just spun so well that people don't realize it but have this underlying feeling of powerlessness and rage. I think it's going to continue to get worse as inequality increases and more and more people make less and less money.

That's why American's are angry in my opinion.
