The gist of the article was that if people felt they had a fair shake, they could live with being poor while others profited from their work/exploitation. But if their fundamental (from an American perspective I'm speaking of course) rights were infringed upon--religion, speech, assembly and the like (hopefully not so whacko about the right to keep and bear arms in their well regulated terrorist militia--I hope), that's what gets "them" wound up and into blowing up themselves and others. Oversimplification here of course. Still, that's something for the student to examine as well. Wish I could cite the source or even remember when I read it.
