Actually, the owners of Google are just one example of that phenomenon. There are many wealthy Americans who work tirelessly to ensure that other Americans are denied the same chances they had to succeed.
Just bewildering.

Just bewildering.
but not new ...
to be a lawyer you used to have to just take and pass the bar ... then lawyers decided that was to easy for new lawyers ...then realtors, brokers , now everyone every where tries to make sure that license restictions and educational qualifications keep the door shut to their trade/profession as tight as possible.
Just bewildering.
Why do you find it bewildering?
They've got theirs and they don't want to allow the possibility of someone else coming along and taking it away from them. This is typical of people who feel that they've achieved their success by screwing over other people. Sometimes they have but often they haven't. Many of them believe that the only way for the rich to get richer is for the poor to get poorer.
To understand this, you need to look it as they see it. To quite a few of this mindset, economics consists of a finite pie. The only way they can continue to have their "slice", is to deny anyone else another slice, or, a part of their slice.
Logical? No...but you cannot use logic when attempting to understand the mind of a modern liberal. Their worldview is a complete departure from logic and common sense...and "limousine liberals" are the worst of them all. Most of them would sell their own mothers into slavery if they felt that was the only way to maintain their current status.
When you look at it from that context, having socialists in charge is the best possible thing for them...because they know that by "buying" them into power, they stand a very healthy chance of being "shielded" from any adverse consequences. Those things are suffered by the "little people".
Personally, those who think like that have earned, and will continue to earn my unbridled loathing and contempt. I have nothing to do with them and I go out of my way to ridicule and mock them when or if I have the misfortune to be forced by circumstance to encounter them; publically if possible. I consider them a clear and present danger to the long term survival of a constitutional republic.
