Exactly right! Please read my comment #12.
If that portrayal is accurate, no wonder the Czar was overthrown. But is it accurate? I personally do not know as I have never really studied Russian history. The liberal especially those in power, treat everyone else like peasants, including those who put them in power. Your only as good until you vote. Then you can be ignored until the next election cycle. Sadly many establishment Republicans have adopted that attitude as well.
