Bush is a Product of Uber Wealth and Privilege
You see it everywhere. Kids brought up in wealthy families, who skirted through college and landed comfy jobs as CEO's and other top paid executive positions, only there to make money and in turn ruin those companies. Who pays? The workers underneath. Do they have credentials or was it more of who they knew and whose parents they came from? Of course this is not true of every top paid executive or ceo, but most. They don't know what the f*ck they are doing, and behave as if they really don't care. So while they leave companies in the mud with golden parachutes, their employees suffer the most by having their pensions waddled away to nothing, with cuts to their benefits.

Company after company, these well off kids without a clue of the real world just take without there being any accountability.

Bush is a product of this uber wealth and privilege. It's no wonder he and many others well off like him appear to be so disconnected to what ordinary Americans go through. On top of it all, they somehow believe they should be the ones to tell us "little people" to pick ourselves up by our bootstraps. Talk about delusional. Most people in powerful positions don't really earn it, they just about inherit it, and it must stop because it is destroying this country.

PS - I do not believe all born to privilege and wealth do not work hard or do not earn their positions, but too many do.

1. In his first congressional race, he attended a workshop run by
congressional republicans for new candidates. When brainstorming about fund raising sources, Bush suggested his mother's Christmas card list because he'd managed to raise tens of thousands of dollars from that list. He thought all the candidates should try it.

I know he's had other "let them eat cake moments," but none come to mind at the moment.
