Finally, remember if social chaos breaks out, the rich have the most to lose. That is why many governmental services -- from police to inspections to securities guarantees -- have a greater value to them than the poor.

 

I couldn't disagree more.

I mean, look at countries where there are huge breakdowns.

The rich are essentially kings.

If society completely collapses the rich would to aquire durable valuables and land, and use what they have to hire their own police forces and essentially become warlords who are now above the law.
