Elite out of touch
I have a question about “Obama Care.” Will His Highness have to live with his proposed health care program? Will Lord Murtha or any of the other Lords and Ladies of the federal elite have to live with it? I imagine, as with most laws passed, the federal elite will exempt themselves. They will have the best health care available, and their age and lifestyles will not be deciding factors in getting treatment. The ruling classes never seem to cut their own budgets, salaries, or benefits. However they always seem to cut or restrict the incomes of the rest of us. They seem to want to make more poor and those that are poor even poorer.
They allowed the good paying manufacturing jobs be shipped to other countries. Then, they expect kudos for creating minimum wage, part-time, jobs with no benefits for the rest of us.
The old saying, “do as I say not as I do.” seems to apply to these elite. Congress just bought a new fleet of private luxury jets so they don’t have to fly commercially. It’s interesting that no one has said one word about what kind of carbon footprint that will make.
I feel like I’m in Middle Ages Europe. We have the ruling class and the rest of us are peasants.
