Starvation is not a problem in the developed countries (and most of the developing world). Food is cheap.

Housing, healthcare and education are the problems, but $5000 per year are not nearly enough for any of that.

It's absolutely enough for housing if you squeeze in.

Healthcare and education are problems, but I'm not sure they're enough to provoke a revolution when everyone is otherwise well-fed and sheltered from the elements.
