George W. Bush is the reason I don't like rich kids [View All]

which is to say that these reasons go back a long time for, long before I had ever heard of Baby Bush, back when he was still boozing it up in Texas.

It's one thing when someone works their way up from nothing and makes a lot of money. As long as he/she does it honestly, I can respect that, even if he/she adopts a political stance different from mine. But I just have no respect for rich kids who have had everything handed to them in life, living off of trust funds, legacy college admissions, fraternity/sorority bullshit, good ole' boy connections and worst of all, the entitlement mentality. I have generally avoided friendships with rich kids.

And before anyone mentions John Kerry, I only voted for him in the general election, and my choice for the 2004 nomination was Wesley Clark. If you have to vote for a rich kid in the general election, at least make sure his head is in the right place. But then again, Kerry's patrician upbringing perhaps made him a poor candidate because he lacked a genuine populist appeal that Bill Clinton definitely had.
