The defining feature of it is GREED.
A group of individuals, organizations and institutions that exists to sustain, protect and extend their own WEALTH, above all.
And that DESPISES the serf class, aka the deplorables.

Oh, man... for a minute there, I was almost buying it.

Then I thought about that family of selfless, patriotic, moral, upright, generous, God-fearing, public servants known as the Bush family. Then I reflected on the equally laudable Romneys. Which in turn made me think of so many other families... who - sometimes generation after generation - ask for nothing more than the chance to bless the rest of us with their wisdom and guidance. Not just Republicans, but Democrats too... like the Clinton and Pelosi/D'Alessandro families. And what about the laudable banking and law firm families, the trust-fund families, the corporate board stalwarts...

Well, I just have to say that I got tears in my eyes. I am so grateful that our betters have so assiduously kept faith with "we, the people," preserving our Constitutional rights and our four freedoms... all out of the goodness of their hearts. They give us so much, and ask for so little in return...
