Especially when you consider that the New Yorker is the newsletter of the Old Money class. They'll be first up against the wall come any revolution, long before "the bankers".


Was there an "Occupy Old Money" protest I didn't hear about?


No, but there is thousands of years of history that show us what happens in revolutions of that nature.


Occupy was a glorified flash mob. The real revolution, when it happens, will not be tweeted.


It seems to me that there is a schism between the financial industry and others harboring huge wealth.

For example, a lot of wealthy people are honestly or pretend to be libertarians. Libertarians don't seem to be very fond of the finical industry.

I wonder why this is?
