Sounds like NYC will be a better example.
If NYC collapses they'll just find something else to blame

Obviously they'll blame all the greedy capitalists who live there.

Yeah... I do think you are right.
Its quite interesting to watch this character in NYC and how he obviously a demagogue telling people what they want to hear. Its a tough situation that was created by the very same ideas that this guy is pushing.
There's a fundamental flaw in humans in that we have a really hard time putting ourselves in the shoes of others. My dad never had wealth. He was born poor. Literally a cabin at home. His family was the poorest in the small town in Oklahoma. He never finished High School. But he worked hard and taught me to work and one thing he said to me that has stuck with me was that "you don't have to be rich to be greedy". He said, "Some of the greediest people I have ever met were poor".
We all want more for less. Its not just the business man. I want to be paid more. My boss wants to increase profits. We are all competing. We are all greedy to some extent. I'm not a Randian. I don't think greed is good. But I do think it is in every man.
