My dad and I have theorize (and on a general scale, it seems to be true - i.e. There are always exceptions, but this isn't the point) that the higher the living standards of one's self, the more superficial one's worries become.
Good example: Person A, a person that's barely able to pay the rent or for food for him/herself.
Person B, a person who brings in a million dollars a year, lives comfortably, have servants, fancy cars, and so on.
Person A, quite frankly won't give a donkey's behind whether his food is from Subway, Sonic, the meat shop down the road, or a Turkish bazaar. He wants food and instincts will tell him to eat whatever he can afford so he can continue to live.
Person B, will be more prone to being a vegetarian, only eating steak and eggs in the morning, refuse to drink water, or never order from Fast-food.

No, I'm not implying this concern is superficial, however ... I am saying that unless this can be proven with some sort of percentage, I'll bet you anything that most of those people who are homeless and barely getting enough money won't care about this at all until or unless they're precious few dollars are wisked away.
Does this have any relevance to any arguments presented on this topic? Absolutely not. :p I thought I'd simply share that bit of knowledge.

My view, you ask? What happens, will happen ... I'll just go with the flow of it. I'm a bit of the Person A. I don't have the money to be worrying about what's going on. I'll just enjoy what life gives me and try not to complain too much. :)
