This disparity between the rich and the poor has been noticed.
It has been noticed, most acutely and not unnaturally, by the poor.
Just because they have noticed it, it won't last for long. Whatever
else in the world we know survives to the year 2000, that won't. Once
the trick of getting rich is known, as it now is, the world can't survive
half rich and half poor. It's just not on.
