Few of the rich seem to have made any significant changes in their daily lives. Rather than downsizing their lifestyles in regards to the Occupy Movements criticism the 1% are “spending more money on protecting their homes,” said Paul M. Viollis Sr., the chief executive of Risk Control Strategies, a security advisory firm based in New York City, whose clients have an average net worth of more than $100 million.
Since the Occupy protests began, Viollis said, his clients — many of them high-level financial executives — have noticed an increase in “harassment” in, for example, emails and phone calls saying, in essence, “I lost my job, so who the hell do you think you are having a bonus like this?” In response, he said, demand for bodyguards, security-trained drivers, home security guards and other personal protection quadrupled from the beginning to the end of 2011.
A spectre is haunting America's wealthy.
