American Elites

American Elites

In 2013 America has  a new class system.

At the bottom of the ladder we have illegal immigrants who will move up quickly under the Obama propsed "immigration reform".  These illegals will get a fast track to citizenship and guarantee the Democrat Party millions of new voters.

On the next rung are the unemployed and underemployed who recieve welfare, food stamps and other types of transfer payments from the governments, (local, state and federal).  During Obama's rule this class has grown into a huge segment of the Democrat Party's voting base.

Above the unemployed are the working poor - folks who have jobs and receive no direct government transfer payments.

The middle class works, pays taxes and is the bulk of the taxpayer base- the ones who foot the bills for everyone else. They are teachers,  self-employed, the carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians, and small business owners.

The upper middle class pays its way.  Small business owners, professionals, government employees, some union workers belong to this group.

The elites range above the upper middle class. They are in the legal and medical professions, in the colleges and universities, in the media and celebrity world, and in the financial world with concentrations on the extreme East and West coasts and in the large cities. The elites cooperate and support the ruling class with money, media favors, and have a disproportional influence in public affairs because they control the mainstream media and serve the ruling class as propagandists and messengers. The elites disdain the lower classes and the average American who works with his hands and earns a living and pays taxes and lives in what the elites refer to as "Fly Over Country".

The American ruling class dominates the politics of 2013.  They are professionals, in many cases, life long politicians who move around in their class from position to position such as John Kerry moving from the US Senate to become Secretary of State just as Hillary Clinton moved from the Senate to State years ago.  Both political parties play this game to protect the ruling class's interests. That interest is power and control of the political system.  Also included in the class is the super wealthy socialist millionaires and billionaires who support the ruling class with political money and in return share power, influence, control and favor in the American system of 2013.
