"The more divided a society becomes in terms of wealth, the more reluctant the wealthy become to spend money on common needs. The rich don’t need to rely on government for parks or education or medical care or personal security—they can buy all these things for themselves. In the process, they become more distant from ordinary people, losing whatever empathy they may once have had."
— Joseph E. Stiglitz, “Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%” (via anythingcouldhappen)
