As long a we espouse property rights, their property rights, which I can only assume you can't fathom. The same way you can't fathom that there are a whole lot of people in the world that don't share your view of utopia...don't want you to impose it on them.

We only have classes if you're looking down. We have different levels of wealth, but do you really think poor people feel that wealthier people are an upper class? No, just wealthier.
