That's why I said the 'few' people we knew who were really wealthy....There are lots of people who have lots of money, but the few we've met with real wealth (old money, and not newly created), are always nice. Nothing like we see coming out of the mouth of AS. They would be horrified. Now the 'new wealthy' folks, may be something else. Look to Follywood for that....If Alex Baldwin, Michael Moore, Barbra, Susan Sarandon, and all those folks are any example, the older monied folks again would be dismayed to say the least. I can't imagine Warren Buffett, for instance, saying any of the things AS does. Buffett is a Democrat of course. Maybe he does talk like that, but somehow, I don't think so. Some time ago, I also met a couple of the J D Rockefeller descendents....Super nice folks. You'd never know they had money, until you saw their 'cottages' in the Adirondacks and in Maine.

I never said I was rich, I said I attended some of the same prep schools as elite GOP kids, as well as the Kennedys, and went to an Ivy League college. All on scholarship. During that time, I liked to party and some of the biggest coke-snorters I saw were GW Bush types, that is snide, cynical arrogant famous last name rich kids who never showed any respect for anyone because they considered themselves way above the rest of the world and even above the law. Bush is the kind who laughs at peoples' problems, he dosn't care about you or me. No, old blue blood money like the Bushes is not even distantly related to "ordinary people". They are born with millions and have a choice, to do almost anything they want with their lives. Bush chose to throw in with big oil and other noxious industrial interests and help them loot the country. His legacy will be as a phony Christian war-maker for political gain, an inept president who made everything worse and a pimp for polluters, gas gougers and other major white collar criminals. Bush chose to never work for what he got, never help anyone in need, never say no to exploiting his last name and has never really do an honest day's work in his life. He is a good cheerleader type politician, with a good BS personality, but that's because he trained as the cheerleader for the football team at Yale, and was the main smoozing drunk at the most elite preppy fraternity at Yale. He also went to Harvard and Andover yet he fakes this cornpone accent whenever he's campaigning. While in private he drops the accent and talks normally. Clever scam artist from the most elite family in the nation. But now he's busted.
