If the poor are isolated and the rich can afford isolation are they the same?

What are the differences?If the poor are isolated and the rich can afford isolation are they the same?
you force me to accept that the poor are isolated?





Nope, they live in PROJECTS, get free money and health care, free education and food...that's not ';isolated';





the rich pay MORE TAXES, pay for their own healthcare, home, food and education...they aren't ';isolated'; from SPENDING their money...If the poor are isolated and the rich can afford isolation are they the same?
Uh....sure. Why not?
One is a poor isolated person, while the other is a rich isolated person. Simple
No, they are polar opposites.





It is a symptom of a larger problem of the reversion to a class system of lords and serfs. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, but the opportunity for the poor to excel is diminishing. It is slow, and insidious, but it is occuring. An example of this is the upcoming minimum wage increase. It will help to raise the quality of life for the lower class, but increase difficulties for many middle class because eventually, the cost of utilities and other living expense will rise to meet the new baseline living standard. So not only are the poor being isolated, they are being added to. In the meantime, the rich can sit back and allow this to happen as they take advantage of those who can't afford proper nutrition due to the cost or the time to attain it (thus resorting to McDonalds on a regular basis), work two jobs (thus not having time for proper health-maintenence), and poorer education.





The time is now. The chances to seize oppurtunity are dimishing and soon there will be no oppurtunity to be had. So therefore, those with power (i.e. the rich) will continue to isolate themselves and the poor to retain their power.
I don't think so: the poor are isolated because of economic limitations. They can't afford to experience the things the rich can do; can't afford to travel to exotic lands; can't afford to enjoy lavish dinners, luxury yachts, country club memberships, and all those other accoutrements that come with wealth.





The rich, on the other hand, can afford isolation because of unlimited economic resources. They can experience the things poor people can't do; they travel around the world; they enjoy lavish dinners, luxury yachts, country club memberships, and all those accoutrements that come with wealth. But they isolate themselves because they don't want to have to ';touched'; by the sights of the poor, disabled, homeless, unemployed, sick, aged, underprivileged, disadvantaged, or hungry. So they live in gated mansions, work in 'secured' office buildings, and pretty much stay away from anyone that's not in their economic or social class (I think it makes them feel guilty that they so much and those living in poverty have so little). -RKO-
Poor isolation is not voluntary while


Rich isolation is voluntary.
