re: #572 PT Barnum

Not so much as I think there are reasons not to have an aristocracy. They don’t tend to do well in revolutions when push comes to shove. The French Revolution comes to mind.

Well, it didn’t work out all that well for Robespierre, Marat, and the gang either. The class warfare thing - demonizing the rich - not such a good idea it seems.
