Goodbye Middle Class

Quick link to a story about a new study showing that the number of Americans living in economically diverse neighborhoods is actually shrinking.  Neighborhoods are becoming more segregated as wealthy people move into gated communities and such and poor people are hoarded together in slums.  This is exactly how capitalists want society to be structured, so they don't have to intermingle with us common folk.  This helps lead to further segregation of schools and social institutions, and further removes wealthy people from any semblance of real life and its struggles.
