These punching bag elites – WSJ



[ad_1]

Who are these elites that I keep hearing about? Is there a higher set that manages everything? “It’s time to hold America’s elites accountable for their abuses,” yelled former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel in the Atlantic of the 2019 college admissions scandal. Top line: “America’s middle class is Cinderella, and the nation’s elites are her evil half-sisters. “So ok.

So who are they – the “sophisticated, vaccinated crowd” at Obama’s birthday party that a New York Times reporter raved about? May be. “You know, I always hear ‘the elite, the elite’,” Donald Trump told a 2019 crowd in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “I have a better education than them, I’m smarter than them, I went to the best schools, they didn’t. [I have a] much nicer house. Mirror Mirror. . .

America hasn’t had a kingship since the overthrow of King George III, but is there a secret cabal of wealthy and like-minded elites that controls everything? An American Illuminati? I keep looking. What I discovered is that the “elites” are mostly made-up groups that everyone uses as punch bags of envy for plaintive complaints.

A federal criminal record notes that many Oath Keepers, a right-wing group, believe that “the government has been co-opted by an elite cabal actively trying to deprive American citizens of their rights.” Hillary Clinton wanted to collect “taxes fairly, especially from the elites.”

Ancient Rome also had patricians and plebeians. Look what happened to them. Ditto for Florence grandiose, made famous by Machiavelli. The French foolishly channel the university elites into government. The Chinese Communist Party elites are now cracking down on their wealthy entrepreneurial elites. And the British still have sacred duchesses, lords, knights and ladies.
