The rich get off much better in recessions than the middle and lower classes, so no.Recessions always shrink the gap between rich and poor.
Here's a nice aphorism: 'Some mistakes are severe, others minor, but even here there is a difference within the race of men: a pauper's mistake harms no one but the pauper; a king's mistake harm's everyone but the king.'
Some of us are of the opinion that fewer of us should in fact emulate the paths of the rich - not all the rich, certainly, but I think you know to what/whom I refer.people should examine how the rich got rich and see if they can emulate that.
