So that's why "the left" hates the rich. Gotcha.
I didn't listen to the egghead profs much even when they actually had the power of grades hanging over me. I cannot fathom why you think the rest of us on the other side of the aisle are looking to them for leadership in our antipathy for your side. We can do that all on our own.
And wealth is
a measure of success in our society, not
the measure. I will go to my unmarked grave outside of debtor's prison believing that.
