It's because the residents of Bald Head Island are the entitled rich.

The Capitalism of Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan and Ford has been left behind on the pages of history. Today's "rich" have conned the government to believe that they are too big to fail and have lined their pockets with taxpayer $$ while they form sycophant organizations the likes of Americans for Prosperity to spew fear and hate. Most low income Americans simply don't earn enough to pay their ordinary and necessary living expenses.
