    There is already a separate class of rich people

    The thing you are afraid of is already happening

    Rich people and their kids get world class health care, including helicopter flights to hospitals for life saving surgery. The rest of us die in the waiting room.

    Rich people and their kids never have to work a day in their lives. We all have to work until we die.

    Rich people and their kids get to enjoy luxury, fulfillment, gratification and a style of living that we cannot possibly imagine. We have to pirate movies because we can’t afford to see them in theaters.
