What the "Rich" really think of the "Middle Class"

I know someone who married "well" but she never bought into the lifestyle and the culture. Her husband takes her to expensive country club dinners where she hears all sorts of conversations that don't need to be guarded or politically correct. This beaut came from last Saturday.

The conversation at the table was about the astronomical price of property in New Jersey. It morphed into a discussion about their outrage of how the Middle Class didn't deserve their money. Especially those who made it by selling their little Cape Cods and ranch homes for seven figures and going to Florida to live the Life of Riley, putting the MC on the same level as The Rich. (The mentality is that American society is like one big country club as a metaphor. Membership should be strictly enforced to keep it exclusive. Access to wealth should be restricted in order to keep out the riffraff.)

This explains a lot about what's wrong with the mentality of our society. Even if * is removed, we're stuck with people who will do whatever it takes to return someone equivalent to * to office in order to maintain an American caste system in place. THEY DON'T WANT DEMOCRACY. They want aristocracy.
