That takes a step back to the 19th century when the rich would shop in one store and the poor would shop in another. And if that happens again how can Amazon claim to be a global marketplace when some 90-95% of the populace won't be able to afford what no doubt Amazon claims is and will be available to everyone? Something isn't available to everyone if most people can't afford it.

I think this would be a valid argument if Amazon was a warehouse store like Costco or Sam's Club. There, one pays a fee just to be able to walk through the door.
