Thomas Frank needs an enema

"America is burning"

Seven years have passed now since the last recession officially ended, and yet the country’s fury has scarcely cooled. 

To this day we remain angry at Wall Street; we rage against career politicians; and we are incandescent that the economic system seems to have been permanently “rigged” against working people. 

Median household income has still not recovered the levels of 2007. 

Wages are going nowhere. Elite bankers are probably never going to be held accountable for what they did. 

America is burning.

Oh, please.

This whole "America is angry" thing is such baloney.
