Disagree with the punitive ideas, just maintain sufficient order and focus on the ball. Most of this would go away with a societal shift away from shareholder capitalism and towards stakeholder capitalism. That's not gonna happen so long as the working class is divided and battling each other.
I believe that if they were more economically secure, they'd be more tolerant of racial, cultural, and political differences. I've seen it happen a few times over the years (now decades), these dark emotions subside with improving conditions. Many disagree, saying that it's mainly racial, obviously, because of their reappearance even during the recent boom. My reply is that the recent boom is misunderstood because the data is aggregated, e.g. GDP, and employment is not sufficiently qualitatively analyzed. It is not enough to merely be employed, even a low paying job can build a life if that low pay can be counted on, i.e. if it is not precarious. (A topic for my "magnum opus" thread, if I weren't so lazy. )
Having grown up in Ireland and seeing the terrorist group leaders on both sides sue for peace not because they cared but because they could no longer recruit in a booming economy and they themselves had no firm pension plans. Politician pensions (which the UK has) seemed a good option.. Hard to get a young man to take up the gun when he sees a future for himself. Same thing happened in Colombia and would happen in Israel if they could be made to trust richer Arabs would have less children. But... America is already very wealthy, no matter how much extra wealth is injected, that will be lifted back from the accounts of the lower orders (below say 0.01 percents). American people are from the world's perspective a very fat and hungry cuckoo, gone past the cute fluffy stage and looking too mean. The rich won't give up the cream, the plebs are being disruptive and may need curbing. What are the rich going to permit?
Based on the premises that 1) no one wants to lose anything from their stock, and everyone wants to add to their stock, and 2) people are more motivated to act from a fear of loss than by a hope of gain, any path towards improvement of American quality of life must not try to take away from the current holdings of anyone, rich or poor. Rather, redistribution must occur on future growth. That's slower but assumes we prefer peaceful redistribution over violent redistribution aka revolution.
