If there is a new upper class today, their oppression doesn&#x27;t seem all that severe. I don&#x27;t recall the former nobility handing our free health care or education.<p>Sure, the people in power today believe they deserve what they have, but so did the people in power before. If you&#x27;re worried about that sort of arrogance, at least we don&#x27;t have kings believing they rule by divine right and nobility believing they&#x27;re carrying out God&#x27;s will through their king.
