Excerpted from the Manhattan Spectrum:

Many of the nation’s rich refused to comment regarding the move, but the Spectrum found one member of the Upper Crust that was willing to speak off the record.  He said the following:

“Well, we basically did it to blend in.  As the economy worsens, we don’t want to fall victim to the taunts and occasional violent act that our industrialist grandfathers and great-grandfathers were subjected to during the Great Depression.”

“We just want our drivers to be able to drop us in front of Tiffany’s or Louis Vitton and not have to deal with the rabble while we shop for our mistresses.  Is that too much to ask?”
