Of course not. Most of them are comfortable enough as-is. Most people don't have a strong political philosophy - they're just trying to maintain what they have, and maybe find a way to have a bit more.
Don't really think comfort has much to do with it. Revolutionary behavior tends to spill out from relatively privileged demographics, and suffering demographics can suffer seemingly infinitely without hitting some point of discomfort where revolution occurs.
