"There is always hierarchy"

And thus concludes a CNN news story on a series of studies that show a correlation between "high power/low status" and abuse of those with whom who such people come in contact.

The headline is "Study:  Power without status can lead to to rudeness, even abuse".  This makes sense to me in that I have seen a correlation between those comfortable in their power and their ability to accept the ideas of others, compared to those not comfortable in their power and being on a control binge.

I commend the article to you.
