I have a friend from the Philippines who will not go back, even though he could "live like a King" on his retirement. He just does not want to be surrounded by millions in extreme poverty.

I do not want that happening here either. It is if you look around.

But if you are living in a 15,000 sq. ft. McMansion on 15o acres you never have to see poverty all around you.

No, you don't. If you're in the 1%, you "have people" who do that for you.

Remember George H. W. Bush's astonishment upon seeing price scanners at the supermarket? Though scanners had been around for decades, he'd never seen one because, quite simply, he never had the need to do his own shopping.

To be truthful I shop very little in stores - the internet is your friend. As is Omaha Steaks and Allen Bros.
