Lest my statements be misinterpreted- I feel that the rich are the rich are the rich, PERIOD- REGARDLESS of party affiliation. It's an economic class thing, and I'll be the first person to say that I don't really like the idea of national fiscal policy being made by people whose life experience, with some notable exceptions, does not reflect that of 99.9% of the population.

The phrase 'out of touch with reality' seems to be fitting the American ruling class increasingly well these days.
