There's a big difference between certain personality characteristics of us working and middle class folks and the ultra-wealthy. And if Democrats are allowed to be blunt, many of those in the upper middle- class who've been fully brainwashed by Rush and Boortz, turn neo-conservative because these deluded people actually believe that they will rise up into the ultra-wealthy ranks some day. These people come in a number of personalities, races and religions BUT share one morally destructive trait: greed. That trait is intense and every-present greed, especially their intense drive to shameless accumulate ever increasing wealth and/or power.

It's a sad statement of human behavior, in general, that money can buy you certain types of friends. Bush has many fair weather friends, bought and sold from his Father's Administration.

I admire the private and introspective people much more than far too many outgoing upper middle-class people who choose to buy friends by displaying "the little extra" they have. Although many of the upper middle class are demonstrative die-hard right wingers, they're destine to suffer financially as much (if not more) than the rest of us if there's a BushCo. Second Term. I'm going to have to dig down deep to feel sorry for these selfish people when the reality of what BushCo. represents slaps them in the face.

BTW I'm doing my best to help raise my child not to be selfish or jealous of others. She asked me the other day, "Mommy why don't we have a swimming pool in our back yard like the *?" I exclaimed, "But honey we do have a swimming pool. It's call The * Public Pool and it's only four blocks down the street!" :P <snicker>
