I am referring to major wealthy players in finance, shipping, industry and such. I am referring to the big monied social set that owns the media.
Let’s not delude ourselves. America is ruled by the Five Cities, Boston, New York, Washington, Chicago, and Hollywood. The rest of us just pay taxes. The heart of the beast is New York, the Ivies being its nursery and Washington its storefront.
I disagree that physical locations matter much.
As Rush often says while broadcasting from some new location: "so long as I'm here, it doesn't matter where 'here' is."
Most large companies have branches in every metropolitan center, here and abroad.
So, where particular borders get drawn is of no concern to them, only that their customers, employees & investors are near-by.
And even "near-by" is not such an issue when people can communicate instantly and travel quickly around the globe.
Point is, these allegedly nefarious "power brokers" who have you so consumed with rage can live anywhere & everywhere, depending on their mood, or the seasons or some particular activity.
Regardless, they are almost all Big City Democrats.
Small town & rural Republicans are a different breed.
