THey just do not respect people who can not acheive the wealth, power or prestige that they have attained and therefore, feel superior and thus, believe that they are not wrong, but rather entitled, for their apparent power and personal gain. It is difficult to break this, certain carefullly-created, culturally accepted superior class-shell that is worn by those within our political system. What makes me say this with any certainty? I dated a prominent politiacal strategist, he worked for DeLay, Bush II and Clinton, not in that order, regardless, if I had a conversation regarding certain issues, i.e. immigration, he would have a practiced, logical viewpoint that has nothing to do with people he had met or known or viewed even, but rather talking points developed by research, the rare doctor or wealthy immigrant that traveled here from trhe various wealthy overseas families that now has come to the U.S. for certain educational or business experiences. The truth was he could say the perfect thing at the perfect time, yet never get to the heart, he was a master conversationalist. This is the mindset of the people running our country. By the way, and I have no way of knowing or assuming things that he said were true, but, he himself was a big drinker, pot user and had very many sexual improprieties. He turned out to be the kind of person who was too much for me! Thankfully, but is he too much for this country, he was nothing compared to Karl Rove. Think that through. Washington is not a nice place to visit, can you imagine Living there? Poor politicians. The rich live in bubbles, they have a different understanding of money than average joes.
