[I still care]

Government civil service is the new class warfare.

If you are fortunate enough to have a government position, you are in an upper class. You are an oligarch. People fight for them. It’s an elitist place. This is what the leftists in the media don’t understand.

It’s not the rich that are elevated today. It’s the government workers. People resent it.

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.
