Every society has an aristocracy. Monarchies have hereditary aristocracies consisting or "nobility". Communism has one consisting of Commissars and corrupt bureaucrats. Socialism has one consisting of corrupt politicians and corrupt bureaucrats. Capitalism has one consisting of capitalists and corrupt politicians. Thing is, in American capitalism, a lot of those capitalists weren't born with capital. They got through smarts and sweat. And mostly created useful goods and services along the way. So if you guys want a "share the poverty" system, fine with me. unlike your sad record with the appellation So you dismiss all those US Presidents even you would have to admit were good with a smartass crack? if Ike had allowed democratic elections to take place in Viet Nam in 1956 "Democracy", if that is what you can call what was about to happen there, was about to screw up and "elect" Communists. Those guys above. He wasn't going to sit back and let that happen. Considering its record, not that hard to understand.
