Research says that the rich live longer...and I suppose its not so surprising. If you can afford the best, you probably have a better quality of life and are healthier as a general rule...but how does this new inequality affect things like Occupy? Rich people don't want to "redistribute the wealth" because that implies taking money away. No one wants their money taken. BUT, If you bring it down to a more basic level, the ability to continue living, you may be able to sway the less liberal crowd. After all, it's easy to say someone doesn't deserve to be wealthy...it's a whole 'nother thing to say someone doesn't deserve to continue living...
