One small counter, though. The PMC may all be assholes to their fellow whiteys if they don't have a degree/don't submit to the creed yet PMC types support social spending that comes out of their taxes and benefit poor people more than themselves.

For all their countless sins, this is a pretty big redeeming feature (I feel ; but then I am a PMC, ain't I...)
