I mean, I think the main issue is that do people feel that opportunities have been cut off from them? If the wealth gap really means that individuals who have the wealth can invest so much in their children, that their children take all the best places and get the great education and are able to thrive, and you have no ability to do that, I think that will become problematic for people.
