As Rich People Move Into Gated Communities They Become More & More Out Of Touch With Normal People


When society has wealthy periods a wealthy class tends to emerge which sees itself as above the rest of the population and subject to different rules from the rest of the people. No civilization's rich & powerful class has survived for long without falling (the longest being the British Monarchy who now answer to it's people on stuff they care about - some people say the Industrial revolution onwards constitutes our civilization, in which case we are currently in a civil war with countries forming the "gated communities" that discriminate against other countries that are less wealthy, interesting huh?).

So while the wealthy begin to segregate themselves we get a glimpse into historical truths that keep repeating itself... as society begins to stratify into the haves and have nots, people essentially behave the same way as they always have... like a guy hanging from a tree branch with a hungry lion below him but distracted by the unoccupied honey bee honey withing arms reach... this takes different appearances in different segments of society.


John Hodgman illustrates;

Reminds me of Mitt Romney;
