America's Lords and Masters: The Trust-Fund Babies
OMG. This is such a great article. The writing is fabulous.

Everyday and in everyway every working-class American stares down more pressure and trouble than Paris Hilton could ever dream of facing for one second in her meaningless, filled-to-the-brim with everything and yet, completely empty life.

How proud she and George have made America's trust-fund families. With such "character" and "dignity" they've represented America's ruling-class-by-birthright.

The American aristocracy: the parasites living within the intestines of America's democracy, sucking it dry of all its vital life forces. They are America's would-be-rulers-by-birthright --- the trust-fund Lords and Masters.

That's pure speculation and blind hatred. Everyone has a private life just because someones life is meaningless to you doesn't mean their life is meaningless as such. I hate writing like this. It's shallow and predictable.
