When the rich get too busy with each other, and forget the rest of the people, bad things tend to happen. I see that happening now. Huge corporations duking it out for profit maximization as those who people those firms get less and less (both monetary and humanitary) for their efforts. In an age like ours, where the most basic needs are met (food, shelter, etc) for nearly everyone, the need for freedom asserts itself. It did so in the 1960's and 70's, and it is likely to do so again. We live in a rather repressive age, I think, at least where the dignity of the average person is concerned. If the rich don't stop nickel and diming the poor on everything from health care to leisure time to privacy, shit's gonna start breaking down.
