"High-Class Problem"? No. OUR Problem

Instapundit calls attention to this item at The Spectator.

Pull-quote:

...Twenty years ago, American politicians sold globalization to their voters by promising that Brazil would become like us. Today, we are becoming like Brazil: a low-trust society with apparently insurmountable differences of class and race, in which the rich live in private spaces defended by a militarized police force, and politics has deteriorated into a theatrical....

Yah.  And 20 years ago Bush the Dumber (following China-Boy Clinton) was telling us that globalization would make Red China become like us.

Instead, we are like Red China with less abortions, and--for the time being--no slave labor.  (Ever stop to think what 8% annual inflation does to your "Pay" check?)

But the rich and the politicians (when there's a difference) live in private spaces defended by a militarized police force, and politics has deteriorated into a theatrical.......

Check, check, and check.
