When the moneys in the majority's hands they're going to want to keep it that way. When 85% of the population is comfortable where they're at because 10% made it that way, 5% rarely has say in the situation.

Take a look at the map of the states that voted against Bush, the coastal states where most of the inner city ghettos are regioned (Big cities maintain around harbor areas thats how they economically blossom), opposed to the mid west and inner country states, where most of the suburbs are stationed, people with money, voted for bush. They're in the majority, majority rules.
