By all accounts, GWB, even with his well documented faults, is an extremely egalitarian,polite and considerate man.

I happen to think that most derogatory classifications and descriptions of college professors, particularly those in Philosophy, are far more accurate than those derogatory generalizations applied to wealthy people.

I think that is because you can become wealthy, but you still remain “you”, especially if you got there by hard work.

College professors, especially Philosophy professors, are indoctrinated to be skulls full of liberal mush as students, and have to believe it fully to teach it to their young students.

As you can tell, I have a lot of contempt for most of those people, and more respect for people who have made money.

I agree. :-)

Our business dealt a lot with the extremely wealthy, and did so for a couple of decades.

I knew our clients well, most of them were genuinely nice, genuinely decent people who often would go out of their way to help us in our business long after our interactions with them.

There were a few I would rather not have done business with, but they were a small minority.

Those who stoke the fires of inequality, like this author, are either simply misguided, blinded, or purposefully destructive ideologues.
