what if immortality is expensive?

All the major corporations, captains of industry, and political leaders started sincerely making changes for the environment. At first I was pleased - I finally had a car that ran mostly on solar power, then it leaked out that the cure for aging had been discovered but was only available for the super rich and barring an accident, they were immortal. So, they were saving the planet not for the sake of humanity or animals, but for themselves. (didn't actually happen. I get in these modes where I 'remember' fake stuff)

What would you do if the rich and powerful were immortal? That would create quite the class system.

    Just the opposite.

    If all immortals are rich, and the mortals all die,
    then there will be noone to perform services for
    immortals-- no fire, police, food service... So rich
    immortals will have to do these things as a service
    to other rich immortals!
