The tRumps: Reminding Us That The Rich Lead Consequence-free Lives
As Leona Helmsley metaphorically remarked, "only the little people pay taxes."
It's a meme that applies to every facet of life in these United States, where the rich are treated as royalty and the rest of us lead our lives as indentured servants (albeit at varying levels of creature comforts we are allowed to enjoy to blind us to the reality of income inequality).
In this country, being rich means that you are better than, smarter than, prettier than the rabble. You lead a life where your not getting laid in high school is the equivalent of the rabble dodging bullets in Nam. You lead a life of privilege that is conferred by birth, and because of that, you are placed into positions of power where your opinion and prejudices effect the lives of the rabble.
So is anyone surprised at the latest bombshell concerning Jr Don? Sure, they'd rather not get caught colluding with the Russians, but what difference does it make? Will there be any real consequences? Most likely not. Why? Because you're filthy rich. You're royalty. End of discussion.
The rich: they're better than us. Their actions only effect them if said actions redound favorably to their bottom line. There are no consequences when things go bad, because...well, they're rich, and you aren't.
