Thus the establishment of the Thin Blue Line, backed by the "Haves", to separate and protect them from the "Have Nots". A secondary benefit of this "Social Divide" is that it allows the "Haves" to further their ambitions to move (claw their way?) up the food/social chain with less worry that they will be prey for the "Have Nots". The "Have Nots" are left to fend for themselves.
