Town rat, country rat equal Codevilla's ruling class and country class

It is amusing to compare that Aesop fable to the ruling class and the country class that Codevilla wrote about.  The ruling class controls the money.  The country class would simply like the country to succeed, but the ruling class isn't interested in what the country class wants.

You can also see the comparison with Hank Williams Jr.'s song A country boy can survive.

Town-rat country-rat has a long history.

Update:

This fits in with my series about going off the grid, but I won't make it a part of the series because I have a post on it early on in the series.
