  It's a legitimate concern rooted in past precedent. I also think this is partly why you are seeing large expenditures aimed at green-tech, etc. If you can turn around some of the social ills (namely pollution), you can stem the flow a bit.

    It's not just quality of life. A lot of wealthy people have at least some exposure to criminal behaviour, and are not keen on being swept up in white collar prosecutions.
