When I visit Hyderabad I'm reminded how nice it is to have an underclass, provided you are not a member of that class. Many services are practically free compared to the US.
Not sure I think we should create that here, though.
Edit: Wow, judging from downvotes it seems there are some folks here on HN that would like that underclass! Interesting!
