I wouldn't go that far. You can live in a compound and have your goodies flown in. But I'd rather not live that way. The poor ARE always with us, but they can be the angry agitated poor, or they can be the somewhat satisfied poor- the latter are less likely to lead the country to revolution. And we know, from study after study, that it is disparity between the rich and poor that makes people dissatisfied- which is why the growing gap in this country between rich and poor is such a cause for concern.
