In this particular context, one who would sell our culture down the river for cheap labor any reason.

Fixed ;^)

A big part arises from the simple and inescapable fact that elites don't share the anxieties of ordinary folk.

Boy Howdy. A million bucks a month could relieve me of a lot of 'anxieties'.

Wall Street hacks like Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic.

Yeah that guy who runs an airline, then complains about oil consumption. Yeah that guy who put all of his money in offshore trusts to avoid paying taxes anywhere, then preaches about global warming.

Is this the future?

“elites don’t share the anxieties of ordinary folk.”

OK, that sounds better than anything anyone else has come up with.

But, as you hinted with your comment about how many of your anxieties would be relieved if you were to receive a million dollars a month, most anxieties that ordinary folk share are related to finances, in one way other. So, on your view, the elites are the people with sufficient wealth they don’t have worry about paying the mortgage, putting their kids through college, getting layed off, etc etc.

Wouldn’t that mean most of the Great Elite are Republicans?
