Don Paskini a href="http://don-paskini.blogspot.com/2009/07/meritocrats-and-spending-cuts.html" has a good article up /a on his website.

The wealthy and powerful think they got that way because of their inherent merit and so are contemptuous of the majority of us who aren't in as good a position as they are.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38622711-3153157556161378483?l=vinospoliticalblog.blogspot.com'//div
