What does keeping a handful of European auto workers employed have to do with US economics? You're right. The simple math says wealth redistribution has gone from 20% owned by the top 1% (1980) to 40% owned by the same population. The numbers are infinitely worse when tallying debt. So lower taxes for the wealthy have a demonstrated effect over the past 30 years of higher unemployment coupled with lower effective median incomes and higher debt for those not lucky enough to be one of the entitled 1%. And we still haven't begun talking about the wild instability caused by financial deregulation.
Gated communities do exist for the middle class. Come on over to the U.S. and you will see. I lived in a few.
As for the Poor. Come on get real. Common sense tells you they can't afford gates. It's a shame because poor people are not all uneducated and with the economy, lost their jobs. I know this because I lost my husband and am now living with my daughter who has a good job and continuing her education and does not live in a gated community. I am considered poor. I checked out the Rich gated communities tour just to dream a little. These people live there because they can all afford them. When you live in a gated community, you pay for it.
Uh, why didn't you show any gated communities that are inhabited by middle class and poor people? BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST, THAT'S WHY!!!! Enough of this Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous garbage! These people are scum who get rich off of everyone else's toil and sweat! And they expect the rest of us to bow down and worship them! I say grab their mansions and turn them into homeless shelters! Conspicuous consumption is offensive and disgusting!
