White collar workers with many of the same characteristics of trailer trash, but which take it to a higher level of cultural depravity. Developers who demand perverse subsidies for creating urban sprawl, too big to fail and jail bankers who demand bonuses when they take down whole economies, flamboyant and racist professional sports team owners who feels entitled to publically funded grandiose stadiums.
The tailored trash claimed to be self made millionaire, but instead was on public welfare in the form perverse public subsidies, and entitlements to public infrastructure for developments that consumed nature and spit out urban sprawl.

When the dominant culture forces a minority to adopt to a dominant culture (revisionist history, customs, mannerisms, traditions, pedagogy, attire, names, language, history, religion, etc). The dominant forces in the culture may also force the minority into an economic system in which all but a few in a minority group is exploited and for which the the dominant leaders have inherent disadvantages.

However, after mockingly eating the 5th BANANA, to mock the hundreds of protests regarding the proposed landfill in the bay, the Commission finally could not withstand the cries of protest and voted the developer's proposal down.

Fencing is the actions of the go between for a thief and buyer of the thief's stolen goods. The buyer may unwittingly buy stolen goods from a fence in yard sales, flea markets, through classified ads, or other traditional markets. A shrewed form of fencing is when the fencer poses as a fence for stolen goods and sells cheap illegal imitations of name brand goods at high prices under the pretence that they are more expensive legit versions.
Pawn shops are no longer very good for fencing since the persons selling to them are finger printed, and there is strict accounting of all the goods sold.
