Mr. Obama’s 99%; Are We Poor or Just Unequal or Both or Neither?

Victor Davis Hanson  "The 2012 campaign is heating up and we can see the outlines of an impending us/them class war. But in our strange 21st-century world, lots of crazy things blur the president’s 1%/99% divide. We watch the super-rich struggle for ever creative ways of blowing their money to distinguish themselves from the rest of us [such as] Johnny Depp’s... hosting of a creepy, expensive costume Halloween party at the White House ...
....
"Meanwhile we see the “poor” near rioting over buying the first few pairs of Michael Jordan $200 sneakers, or mobbing for big screen televisions on holiday shopping sale outings."
....
"Being unequal is not poor. And not having what the “rich” have hardly means having it bad. Sorry, that’s just the way it is."
