[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not mentioned in the Atlantic article is where the new aristocracy live. They most likely live in New York City and San Francisco and surrounding areas.

You don't have to be a multimillionaire or part of the 9% to live a great life in other regions of the country.

Are people in Kansas City or Minneapolis as obsessed with income inequality? No, because there aren't these starck differences and classes.

The top 9% in the coastal cities have to keep their place because the alternative to falling lower on the rung is living in a much less desirable part of town. They have such stressful lives, they need to pay extra for help. They don't have family or community nearby to help them. They need a second vacation home at Martha's Vineyard to network to keep their business contacts. They are always working and always on.

This will work for the Whites.  Browns and Asians - no way.  We have to be in the top 10% to get the life we want.[/quote]

I agree. I am a white woman, and I have always known this is about real estate and land. The new aristocracy are the baby boomers who fled the inner cities during integration of public schools. The liberals sought to divide and conquer working class blacks and whites, men and women. Now they want their children to live in the inner cities. They want back in the inner cities they fled. There is gentrification. It's really sad and disheartening to watch our country turn into this place where there is no middle class. [/quote]
