The Ruling Class is anchored by a permanent group of incumbent elected officials and unaccountable senior civil servants who cycle after cycle remain fixtures of bad behavior, feeding the unions’ appetite for more workers and benefits the public cannot afford.
With Queen Elizabeth’s 60th Anniversary on the throne being celebrated last week, royal watchers across America were glued to televisions and tabloids to hear the details of the lavish events marking the life and reign of a truly historic public figure. While it’s behavior I don’t quite understand, royal watching is a hobby for many Americans. Maybe it’s because monarchy is so foreign to us here in the United States. It’s something that happens “over there.” But as the economic crisis continues to threaten American freedom, the question needs be asked, “Is royalty a truly foreign concept or do we have our own American royalty in everything but name?”
I contend that we do. It’s a Ruling Class and it’s destroying the promise of America. If you’re reading this, you’re probably not part of it – but you’re paying for it every day. Understanding who they are is the first step toward doing something about them. After all, as Jefferson wrote, “An elective despotism is not the government we fought for.” Britain’s monarchy is a source of national unity and pride even in the toughest of times. Our Ruling Class is a damaging force that is quietly scraping away at the fabric of the country. They are the cause of our ballooning debt, over-taxation and slide into European-style statism.
It might surprise progressives that the American Ruling Class isn’t the rich. Progressives, led by President Obama wage a war on those who are successful, wealthy and accomplished for the sake of dividing America. In fact, the Ruling Class is a complex cabal of seemingly permanent incumbent elected officials, public employee union bosses, and those in large financial institutions who work together to condemn the American taxpayer to generations of obligations they cannot afford.
