Disturbing portrayal of class in NYC

This again confirms what I've always believed, the NYC class system eats rich people alive. You see,THE ONLY reason Ritters charades was allowed to hang with the rich boys was because he was badass and violent. It was so hypocritical of Charlie to treat him like a criminal when the only reason they gave a poor boy without a job and without moneywas because he was a badass.
He was never allowed to be normal,I'm sure hanging with the rich kids just made him worse off.
Why is it so hard for NYCers to just get along and creat and equal society-it's been proven for both the rich and the poor a society lacking such huge class divides is more healthy.
NYC is a sad place...

You think it's just NYC? And I would argue that the current class divide is possibly the worst in American history.

most people in America are going to work, hanging with their family, living.

then there are a few losers like yourself who either
a) are too lazy to work or
b) just want to whine and stir up trouble.

if b, then 2 to 1 you are frustrated after your semi-richie parents paid for your crappy liberal arts education and you now realize the only jobs you are qualified for are monotonous wastes of time.

spoken like a true middle class republican that has never had to truly struggle.

I'm pretty sure the entire world is like that. I don't really know of a place where the rich don't think they're better than the poor and the poor don't despise them for it.
