Amerika’s nomenklatura

http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=528809

it’s becoming increasingly clear that America is now run by a new, privileged class of bureaucrats.

For those who remember the old Soviet Union, it was a grim place — at least for average citizens. But not so for those in government. Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government — the nomenklatura.

This semipermanent bureaucracy earned higher incomes, got better health care, ate better food and had greater job security than average Russians, the much-despised proletarians. Today, our bloated federal government seems, in significant ways, to be creating this same dynamic.

Yes, nail meets hammer, you are exactly RIGHT!

” Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government ...”

Basically, we are very close to that, and heading closer.

The US has become the United Commie Stats of America, UCSA!!
Or whatever acronym you chose.

Equal Protection before the law, and in this societies structure has been turned on its head.

From pensions, to Deathcare, to taxes, they exempt themselves while WE PAY.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA ANYMORE!!!!
