It's a different despair for those who are "comfortably well off" as they sit in the gap between the 400 and the bottom 50%. They can't convince those above them to let go to make the system better and they can't convince those at the bottom to rise up and demand it. The former course would be more peaceful and civilized than the latter, but history has shown it to be much less likely.

I'd count myself as one of the "comfortably well off", but in a strong economy where everyone who wanted to work had a job, I'd be a lot more comfortable.
