are hypocrites if they pretend to relate to the poor!And guise themselves in a costume to illustrate their identification.Dean claims to be "one of you". Well, he isn't and he will never be. John Kerry doesn't disguise the fact that he is rich. He doesn't play act the pauper. JK volunteered for Vietnam. He didn't even wait to be drafted.He didn't have anything to evade. He made a choice, therefore he is not a hypocrite.
I find it interesting that the first job Dean had, after bumming around on the slopes, was as a Wall Street Investor in his Dad's firm.Obviously , his first interest was money. He and Judy are both now doctors.I really don't think it is necessary for them to worry about their kids "financial security".
What I don't get is why Dean doesn't loosen up the purse strings and do something constructive like buy a hospital for the uninsured.But I forgot, they aren't things people and have everything they want.
And did anyone bother to check how Mr. fiscal responsibility spent your 50 million dollars? Check out Newsweek. The non things candidate blew an inordinate amount on chocolate, cheese, entertainment, and dining out!
