It's how rich people see the poor as a mass, not individually. Very few will get their hands that dirty to really empower with their assistance. I've met a couple in my lifetime (Bill Simon in California was one), but they are exceedingly rare. (nice guy, but too polite to save this seething swirl of a State)
I had the good fortune to go to upper crust private schools in San Francisco as a kid (Stuart Hall for Boys in grades 4-8 and Lick Wilmerding high school). As teaching institutions, the expectations were academically much higher, but the actual teaching ability was every bit as spotty as one might suspect and therefore not much better than anywhere else. In the process, I got to know some "rich kids" (Catholic and Jewish, respectively). Children do a wonderful job of betraying the emotional sensibilities of their parents. Again, they were spotty. Among them were some truly fine people: gracious, polite, studious... what one would hope for among an "upper class." Yet the majority were spoiled, vindictive, bratty, shallow, and really not that smart.
Accordingly, in my writings on our social meltdown as precipitated by that upper class, one has to wonder of which type or to what degree are the actors involved. Is what they did a matter of delusional noblesse oblige, or was it punitive delight in droit du seigneur? It can be both situationally but the only way to portray distinctions in character justly is to find and study their childhood development and then their adult writings. It is there that the distaste for "the worker ants" of this world become evident, now taking shape as policies toward population reduction creating a socioeconomic vacuum being filled by illegals which will itself likely take down its perpetrators (as planned, there are multiple hierarchies of elitism you know). It takes time and persistence to make definitive citations to such. One does a lot of writing that eventually (hopefully) collapses into its aspired condensate. C'est la guerre.

Not so sure about that some in all ranks of our society are pro socialism Marxism and down right communism with a hatred for America and what it stands for.
They are like the jerks that scratches other people cars with a lack of morals with no respect for anything.
Bad seeds 100%.
“Strapped” New Yorkers…
Chuckle… I’m “strapped” everyday, everywhere I go. A G17 w/17 rounds u derthe left arm, and two spare mags under the right, and a SW 642 backup either in small of back or next the seat (in car)…
But I don’t think that’s the kind of “strapped” they are referring to… Since it’s NYC and they voted a communist Muslim into power.
