" but but......really......his mom said they were ordinary people.....they didn't treat their servants like servants!!!!"

. . .we can only make of this, the truth of what it says.

While they thought of their 'servants' as no more than 'servants'; they virtuously determined to treat them like human beings. . .and here I thought maybe Dean did not like his Father and so became the anti-cpitalist; when his Mother reveals herself and perhaps 'Father as well'. . .to be genuinely Liberal at heart. This might have been the beginnings. . .

Reminds me of the story of the Fonda 'children' refusing to be served dinner by the. . .servants. . . .

They could not see them as just people. . .human beings, who took pride in their job; valued their work; and who were happy to be gainfully employed. They thought, that 'dignity' was theirs to bestow by seeing them first, as no more than menial 'servants'.

Libs are forever blinded by their own arrogance of their place in the order of the world.

Two words: Power Trip!

People who go around bestowing dignity on others like having the power to bestow that dignity. It's why condescending jerks condescend.
