Yeah. God forbid poorer live next to me. You know who else has that mentality? People who are much better off than you and view you as the pots.
You know what’s demonstrably shown to improve moral and connectedness of a society? Being forced to live next to people who are worse off than you so that your self-interest is to vote and advocate on their behalf so that you’re not living in a shithole.
Do you disagree that stratifying people socio economically so that you minimize your interactions with people who are worse off than you sets up a socio economic caste system? Or do you think a caste system isn’t problematic for a society?
The latter; I think it’s folly to deny that social, political, economical, intellectual “caste” systems or hierarchies form naturally on their own, and that they can somehow be abolished through government policy. The beauty of America is that we can break through these barriers if we are truly exceptional and deserve it. And yes, if you are intelligent enough to leverage nepotism, you deserve it. I expect that we will fundamentally disagree on this, as is our right to as free thinking individuals.
